Since the 16th century, Baldock has been a centre for malting, subsequently becoming a regional brewing centre with no less than 3 large brewers in operation in the area at the end of the 19th century, despite a drop in demand for the types of beer produced locally. The 1881 Census notes roughly 30 drinking establishments.
