It is thought that a gate at Aldgate spanned the road to Colchester in the Roman period, when London Wall was constructed. The gateway, which probably had two circular towers, stood at the corner of the modern Dukes Place, on the east side of the City, with a busy thoroughfare passing through it. It was rebuilt between 1108 and 1147, again in 1215, and reconstructed completely between 1607 and 1609 in a more classical and less functional style. Like Londons other gates, Aldgate was fortified with porticullises and chained in 1377 due to concerns about potential attacks from France. The gate was finally removed in 1761, being temporarily erected at Bethnal Green.
Aldgate did have defensive functions, and, between its early 13th and early 17th century reconstructions, was breached on only two occasions. The first occurred during the Great Rising in the summer of 1381 when thousands of insurgents from surrounding region, assisted by sympathizers within and without, entered the City through Aldgate. The second breach came in the summer of 1471 when troops led by the Bastard of Fauconberg forced open the gate. The assault was only successful by the design of Aldgate defenders, after a number of Fauconbergs men were allowed to gain entry, the gates portcullis was lowered to trap them inside, where they were taken and killed.
