We report significant associated clustering in the field of a z = 1.226 quasar from the Clowes-Campusano LQG in the form of both a factor ˜ 11 overdensity of I - K > 3.75 galaxies, and red sequences of 15-18 galaxies at I - K ⋍ 4.3, V - K ⋍ 6.9 indicative of a population of massive ellipticals at the quasar redshift. The quasar is located between two groups of these galaxies, with further clustering extending over 2-3 Mpc. A band of V - I < 1 galaxies bisects the two groups of red sequence galaxies, and we suggest that the merging of these two groups has triggered both this band of star-formation and the quasar.
