Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the demolition of an existing building and erection of a four-storey academic building at Park Street, and for the erection of a temporary construction crane on 41-43 Park Street, Luton. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake the archaeological works .The investigation demonstrated a significant level of modern disturbance associated with former college buildings. Archaeological features identified consisted of a brick wall and an undated pit that was sealed by a construction layer associated with the wall. The brick wall appears to have been part of an 18th- or 19th-brewery building shown on 19th-century Ordnance Survey maps. The pit contained a mottled green-yellow clay fill and a small amount of badly preserved animal bone. The colour of the fill suggests a possible use as a cess pit. A large pit identified on the site of the crane base is interpreted as a quarry pit dating from the 18th or 19th century. It had been deliberately backfilled with a mixed clay fill that contained fragments of brick Late 19th-century maps show this area covered by buildings. The investigations did not reveal any further evidence for Fulk de Breauté's castle or any other medieval (or earlier) occupation. The brewery foundations and undated pits are of no more than local significance in terms of the regional research frameworks. The truncation associated with the 20th-century buildings would have removed any earlier archaeological remains within their footprints
