Recently discovered the following link below regarding massive proposed Clock Tower in Stepney (along with other unbuilt London projects), which was part of a series of schemes that amongst other things mentions of a plan for the railway running between Limehouse and Fenchurch Street to be buried underground while a 110 feet wide road called "Stepney Greeting" is built on top. The scheme also planned for Fenchurch Street station to be replaced with a new terminus featuring a direct link to the London Underground, is it known though whether the new terminus would have been located at an existing or new Underground station? www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2015/08/23/unbuilt-london-stepneys-massive-clock-tower

The proposal would appear to suggest the new terminus was to be located at or near (albeit beneath) the old Minories railway station possibly using the Tower Hill or Tower Gateway name had it gone through, only this time linking up to the District/Circle Lines with the new station likely replacing the District/Circle Line station at Mark Lane.
