The Royal Mint : The history of the British Royal
Mint itself can be traced back more than a thousand years
there being an unbroken link from the scattered workshops
of the moneyers of Anglo-Saxon London to a single mint within
the Tower of London to purpose-built premises at Tower Hill
and finally to the huge modern coining plant in South Wales.
The site chosen to re-locate the Mint was on nearby Tower
Hill, in an area recently occupied by tobacco warehouses,
and much earlier by the great Cistercian Abbey of St Mary
of Graces. Preliminary work began in 1805, the buildings
were finished by the end of 1809, and the state of art machinery
was given a trial run in April 1810. During 1811 the transfer
from the Tower was largely completed though it was August
1812 before the keys of the old Mint were finally delivered
to the Constable of the Tower. The new Mint, with its 'stupendous
and beautiful' machinery, stood in sharp contrast to the
old. The main building, designed by James Johnson and completed
by Robert Smirke, achieved 'modest grandeur'. It was flanked
by two gatehouses, while behind it, and separated from it
by an open quadrangle, were the buildings housing the machinery.
There were dwelling houses for officers and staff, and the
site was surrounded by a boundary wall, along the inside
of which ran a narrow alley. Patrolled by soldiers from
the Mint's military guard, this alley became known as the
Military Way. In the 1880's the factory buildings were reconstructed
and extended, with new coining presses being installed and
melting and rolling capacity increased. Further rebuilding
was undertaken at the turn of the century; steam gave way
to electricity; dwellings were taken over; and the work
of construction and renovation became a continuous process
as the Mint endeavoured to cope with an enormous increase
in the demand for coinage at home and abroad. By the 1960s
little of the original mint remained, apart from the dignified
Smirke building and its gatehouse in the front.
