It appears that this is the Parkside, Blast Lane in 1852, 1855 and 1858; although the 1851 census also places it in Sussex street.

I’ve discovered this information through family history research,
discovering that William and Sarah Parker are 2x Great Grandparents on my
maternal side. *

2 January 1858/Burglary in Blast Lane : On Sunday morning, a burglary was
committed at the house of William Parker, Parkside Inn, Blast Lane. From the
marks which the robbers left behind them, it is evident that their object in
entering the house was to gain access to the bar. They appear first to have
broken the cellar grate, passed through the cellar, and attempted to force
open the door leading thence into the bar./Sheffield Independent

William Parker died in 1862 at Parkside Inn, and in 1865 his daughter, Esther
Parker had married William Harrison who was listed Publican of Parkside Inn
in 1871. *
15 July 1866/The Will of Samuel Lindley formerly of "Park Side" Inn Blast
Lane in the Parish of Sheffield in the County of York Licensed Victualler

died 1 July 1865 at Attercliffe Common aforesaid was proved at Wakefield by
the oath of Georgina Lindley of Attercliffe Common aforesaid Widow the
Relict the sole executrix. Effects under £3000./Probate
The place where Sarah Parker was born was in fact Parwich, Derbyshire, as
evidenced by the Census return for 1851 (and 1844 marriage certificate),
where the family is living in Sussex Street, close to in Blast Lane, with
daughters Esther and Eliza Ann, and also a son, John (1), and where William
Parker’s occupation is listed as “Brewer”. *

I’m still trying to sort out the exact relationship connection between the
Hannahs in 1881 and the Harrisons. Esther (Parker) Harrison died at Parkside
Inn in 1872. I believe her husband William went to the USA to try to make a
living shortly after, leaving their children Harry Parker Harrison, Edwin
Harrison and George Harrison to live with the Hannahs but they then appear
in Californian Naturalisation records in 1890 and subsequent Californian
voting registers with their father William. *
