## About

Started in 1837 in Sheffield by William Roper and John Kiby on Effingham Street and moved to the Sheaf Brewery on Ecclesall Road in 1878; Septimus Henry Ward joined in 1868 and Wards Best Bitter took his name. Vaux Breweries bought it in 1972. Vaux closed the profitable Sheaf Brewery on 2 July 1999 with its Sunderland brewery. The Double Maxim Beer Company, set up in 2000, now owns the Wards brand.
