Today's testing and measurement website hotspot is Ipswich.
The county town of Suffolk, Ipswich has a total population of around 155,000, with roughly 22,000 living outside the borough boundary.
Situated on the estuary of the Orwell, Ipswich served as the entrance to large parts of inland Suffolk via the rivers Orwell and Gipping during the Roman occupation.
Ipswich grew in importance during the 7th and 8th centuries as a major port connecting the Kingdom of East Anglia with Scandinavia and the Rhineland, starting during the reign of King Rædwald, who was probably buried at nearby Sutton Hoo.
