Historic Interest

The Cricketers has been an ale house since around 1850 at which time it was called The Live and Let Live. The licence was obtained by William Barber, a carpenter by trade, on this newly built cottage. In 1851 George Oliver, a brewer in Baldock took a mortgage on the property. In 1864 the property was taken over by the Hitchin brewer Samuel Lucas, after which it was known as The Cricketers.
