Minories

Minories (/ˈmɪnəriːz/ MIN-ə-reez) is the name of a small former administrative unit, and also of a street in the Aldgate area of the City of London.

The name Minories can be found in other English towns, including Birmingham, Colchester, Newcastle upon Tyne and Stratford-upon-Avon.

[4][5] The modern street named Minories runs north–south with traffic flowing both-ways from Aldgate to Tower Hill;[6] it is part of the A1211 road between the Barbican and Whitechapel.

Burials were forbidden within the inhabited area in the Roman period, so the City's defensive wall was ringed by many large cemeteries.

The site is now occupied by the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station Tower Gateway, which opened in 1987 as the system's western terminus.

The DLR was extended westward in 1991 to Bank, leaving Tower Gateway as a secondary alternative terminus.
