Abstract:		 In September 2014, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried a programme of building recording at the Days Inn motel building, M1 Motorway Service Area North, Linford Lane, Newport Pagnell. The recording was carried out as part of a planning condition in advance of the proposed demolition of the existing motorway hotel, and its replacement with a new hotel and office building. The site lies near the historic town of Newport Pagnell which, throughout its past, has served as a thoroughfare settlement. The motorway was opened in 1959, and the service area followed a year later, as the earliest service catering to cars and lorries. The hotel was constructed in 1970-71 by the Forte Group, to a common design found in other service areas on Britain's motorway network. On its main frontage it echoed the classic 1950s American motel, whilst providing en-suite accommodation and other services such as a lounge and bar. Technical analysis shows that the building is typical of its era, retaining much of its original layout, and one or two decorative features, but has been altered extensively through repeated refurbishment. The main frontage was probably distinguished by subtle colouring, but much of this has also been obscured beneath modern paint
