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 lies 33 miles (53 kilometres) north of London, and has a population of about 9900. Nearby towns are 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 from the fourteenth century. The town thrived where the old Great North Road and the Icknield Way crossed. Regardless of the construction of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was named the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was still a major traffic bottleneck till March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, 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 no less than three big brewers still manufacturing at the close of the 19th century, despite a drop in demand for the kinds of beer produced locally. The 1881 Census notes around 30 drinking establishments. During the early twentieth century, a large number of pubs remained open, many of which were sustained by the nearby and considerably bigger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers prior to 1958, and had only 2 pubs and a single hotel bar till the mid-1990s. Its bigger population had for a lot of years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
