Baldock is a historic market town inside the local government district of North Hertfordshire in the ceremonial county of Hertfordshire, England where the River Ivel rises. It lies 33 miles (53 km) north of London, and has a population of around 9900. Nearby towns include Royston to the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage towards the south. The contemporary layout of the town and many buildings in the centre date from the sixteenth century, with the earliest dating back to the fourteenth century. The town thrived where the old Great North Road and the Icknield Way crossed. Despite 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 nonetheless a major traffic bottleneck until March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, part of the old Icknield Way to the east of Baldock. Since the 16th century, Baldock has been a centre for malting, subsequently becoming a regional brewing centre with at least 3 large brewers in operation at the end of the 19th century, despite a decline in demand for the types of beer developed locally. The 1881 Census records about thirty drinking establishments. Throughout the early 20th century, a large number of pubs remained open, many of which were sustained by the adjacent and much bigger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers before 1958, and had only two pubs and a single hotel bar until the mid-1990s. Its larger population had for a number of years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
