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 boasts a population of approximately 9900. Nearby towns include Royston towards the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage towards the south. The contemporary 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. Regardless of the building of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was referred to as 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 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 still manufacturing at the close of the 19th century, despite a drop in demand for the varieties of beer produced locally. The 1881 Census records roughly 30 drinking establishments. During the early twentieth century, a sizeable number of pubs remained open, several of which were sustained by the adjacent and much larger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers prior to 1958, and had only two pubs and 1 hotel bar until the mid-1990s. Its larger population had for many years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
