Baldock is a historic market town in the local government district of North Hertfordshire in the ceremonial county of Hertfordshire, England where the River Ivel rises. It is located 33 miles (53 km) north of London, and has a population of around 9900. Nearby towns are Royston to the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage to the south. The contemporary layout of the town and several buildings in the centre date from the sixteenth century, with the oldest dating from the fourteenth century. The town thrived where the old Great North Road and the Icknield Way crossed. In spite of the construction of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was known as the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was still a major traffic bottleneck until March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, a part of the old Icknield Way which was east of Baldock. Since the 16th century, Baldock has been a centre for malting, subsequently becoming a regional brewing centre with at least three big brewers still operating at the close of the 19th century, despite a decline in demand for the types of beer developed locally. The 1881 Census records about 30 drinking establishments. During the early twentieth century, a big number of pubs continued to operate, many of which were sustained by the nearby and much bigger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers prior to 1958, and had only two pubs and 1 hotel bar till the mid-1990s. Its larger population had for many years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
