The Aldgate Bars were posts that marked the eastern
limits of the City of London. They were located at the western end of Whitechapel and the eastern end of Aldgate Street. Stow makes no attempt to describe
them in detail apart from mentioning their geographic importance as boundary
markers (Stow). The bars were removed
in the eighteenth century (Harben).
The Aldgate Bars are represented on the Agas map by
two posts, one above the other, at the east end of Aldgate Street. There is no mistaking the landmarks because they are clearly
labelled
The Barres .

(Stow).Whitechapel is mentioned in the following documents:

Aldgate Street
Aldgate Street ran slightly south-west from Aldgate until it reached a pump, formerly a sweet well. At that point, the street forked into two streets. The northern branch, called Aldgate Street, ran west until it ran into Cornhill at Lime Street. At an earlier point in history, Cornhill seems to have extended east past Lime Street because the church of St. Andrew Undershaft was called St. Andrew upon Cornhill (Harben 10).Aldgate Street is mentioned in the following documents:
