Charles Needham (1807-1855) combined victualing with the manufacture of silver knife handles and silver-plated measures.  He was based in the Wicker, on the corner of Willey Street.  In 1810, Charles Needham – presumably the father of Charles (and possibly John) – had registered a silver mark as a plate worker in the Wicker.  ‘Charles Needham’ was listed in Willey Street and the Wicker throughout the 1820s, though when Charles Needham Sen. died and the younger Charles became active is unknown.  It appears that it was the younger Charles, who branched into victualing – at the Moulder’s Arms, Attercliffe (1883), Exchange Hotel, Corn Exchange (1849), and Royal Lancers, Penistone Road (1852).  However, he manufactured plated measure and knife handles until 1854, when he retired through ill-health.  He announced in The Sheffield Independent, 25 November 1854 that the business would be transferred to John Biggin.  He died on 7 February 1855 at The Asylum, Wakefield.
