Abstract:		 This report summarises the results of an archaeological strip, map and record excavation, as well as a watching brief carried out during the demolition of Hudson House. The site yielded sealed archaeological deposits and features, which were primarily from the nationally significant 19th century York Old Railway Station. A large number of structural remains from the original infrastructure of the 1841 Railway survived amongst the piling associated with the 1967 construction of Hudson House. Most of these structures consisted of the foundations of principle railway auxiliary buildings. Evidence of the departure platform, the Railway Stables, the Merchandise Station and the extensive box drainage system were revealed. The remains of two 14 foot turntables were located within the structural bounds of the Merchandise Station. The structural evidence was comparable to the 1852 Ordnance Survey Map of the railway. A small number of isolated late Romano British deposits had survived, centred around an alluvial deposit. A small number of isolated features dating to the later Romano British period were present. These took the form of a pit, a posthole, and amorphous dumped deposits. These features could suggest a period of land reclamation during flooding. Deposits consisting of mixed debris were dumped to shore-up the dry land from floodwaters.
