Baldock
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 positioned 33 miles (53 km) north of London, and features a population of about 9900. Nearby towns are 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 from 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 referred to as the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was nevertheless a significant traffic bottleneck till 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 no less than three big brewers still operating in the area at the end of the 19th century, in spite of a decline in demand for the types of beer produced locally. The 1881 Census notes about 30 drinking establishments. Throughout the early 20th century, a large number of pubs remained open, several of which were sustained by the adjacent and substantially larger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers before 1958, and had only 2 pubs and a single hotel bar until the mid-1990s. Its bigger population had for many years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment.
