The station has several entrances and the co-ordinates given are for the entrance that is part of the old Whitechapel library that now forms a part of the Whitechapel Art Gallery. In addition to this entrance, two other entrances are shown in the photographs.

The PastScape website [visit link] tells us:

"Aldgate East underground station, opened 31st October 1938, was the second station of that name to open. The first station, which was opened on 6th October 1884, was sited some 155 metres to the west (see TQ 38 SW 2169). However, the need to enlarge the triangle containing the Minories, North Curve and Aldgate East junctions lead to it being resited to the east. For the construction of the new station the existing track level had to be lowered by 2 metres to allow sub-surface ticket halls to be built."

Is there other puplic transportation in the area?: Yes What level is the station?: Below street level
