Answer:
Aldgate station
Construction was also complicated because the station was on the site of a plague pit behind St Botolph's Aldgate which contains an estimated 1,000 bodies. Aldgate station was opened on 18 November 1876, with a southbound extension to Tower Hill opening on 25 September 1882, completing the Circle (line).
