William Greaves was in business by 1780, his sons joined the firm in 1816.<span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1247862467906_653" />

They then became William Greaves & Sons.

The Sheaf Works was started in 1823, and completed by 1826.

The firm was sold to B.J.Eyre & Company in 1850, and they may have continued using the Greaves markings for a time (approximately until 1858).
