Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Aldersgate Ward Past Officers' Club was founded in 1860. It lapsed but was was revived in 1909 as Aldersgate Ward Club. In 1972 it instigated an Annual Luncheon for the Lord Mayor. Lady members were first accepted in 1975.

The City of London was divided into wards for the purpose of government as early as Norman times. The wards had responsibility to keep the peace, supervise trade and oversee sanitation, and each ward has the right to elect an Alderman and Commoners to sit in the Court of Common Council. The Aldersgate ward is bounded by Aldersgate Street, Beech Street, Noble Street, Angel Street, King Edward Street and Montague Street, and includes the Barbican Estate.
