NEEDHAM, (Suffolk) 61 cm. 75 mm. from London, stands on the Orwell, 9 m. from Ipswich, in the road to Huntingtonshire. It
had once a good trade in blues and broad cloths for Russia, Turkey, &c. but has lost it many years; and though it has
still many considerabie dealers, yet its poverty is passed into a proverb; so that when a man takes steps to his own ruin,
they say, He is on the high road to Needham. Its Mt. is W. Fair May 3.
