Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring works was undertaken by Albion Archaeology during the conversion of former commercial offices to residential units at 29-31 St John's Street, Bedford. Deposits close to the St John's Street frontage were examined in a 19.5m-long east-west aligned trench excavated along the northern side of the tower block. At least five pits were identified. These were cut into the underlying river terrace gravels and sealed beneath a layer of modern construction overburden up to 1.2m thick. Some of the pits were large quarry-sized features that could have been dug for gravel. No dating evidence was recovered but the results from the earlier evaluation indicated domestic activity in the area close to the street frontage from the Saxon-Norman period (10th-12th centuries) through to the modern period. A 2m-square trench excavated in the mid part of the site, c.50m from the street frontage, contained a single pit with a dark fill that produced a single sherd of Saxo-Norman pottery. The archaeological deposits in this part of the site were covered by 0.5m of modern overburden.
