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 is located 33 miles (53 kilometres) north of London, and boasts a population of approximately 9900. Nearby towns include Royston to the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage towards the south. The modern layout of the town and numerous 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 building of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was called the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was still a significant traffic bottleneck until March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, a 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 no less than 3 big brewers in operation in the area at the end of the 19th century, in spite of a decline in demand for the varieties of beer developed locally. The 1881 Census records approximately 30 drinking establishments. Throughout the early twentieth century, a big number of pubs continued to operate, 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 till the mid-1990s. Its bigger population had for a number of years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
