About Baldock and Gallery |
| |
| Baldock is a market
town located in an area showing evidence of human settlements dating
back to pre-roman times. It is located in North Hertfordshire, just
off the A1M motorway. There is only one Baldock in the United Kingdom,
so it is easy to locate on any map. Baldock has many places of interest
to visit and is a typical English Market Town. |

The town itself is worth visiting just to walk
around and view the many Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian buildings,
the 17th Century Almshouses, 12th Century church, museum and Victorian
Town Hall.
The Baldock Society has a large collection of
historic photographs of Baldock, some of which can be seen here:
