Site of Aldgate demolished 1760.
The Corporation of the City of London
Site: Aldgate (1 memorial)
EC3, Aldgate High Street, 88
A list of plaques at the London Metropolitan Archive refers to one for Aldgate at 2 Aldgate High Street. The document records that it was the first of a batch, erected 25/6/1923, but that it was removed in 1967 when the building was demolished. (c.1795) suggest that that plaque was in the wrong place. At that time 2 Aldgate High Street was on the south side, just to the east of the junction with Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street, about 70m west of where the remains of Aldgate are now known to lie beneath the ground, immediate opposite this current blue plaque.
It's quite possible that this current plaque is actually the original one, re-erected in the right location.
