Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
Aldgate Ward Club was known until 1906 as the Aldgate Ward Association. It was a social club encouraging the discussion of topics of local or general interest.
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 Aldgate ward is bounded by White Kennet Street in the north and Crutched Friars in the south, and includes Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street.
