Betjeman's London
This episode of Betjeman's London, this 25-minute programme on the Mint was broadcast in 1967 and, as the name suggests, was presented by John Betjeman – not only a future poet laureate but also a long-standing member of the Royal Mint Advisory Committee.

The Royal Mint Museum contains an archive of thousands of photographs dating back to the late 19th century which provide an invaluable record of the changing processes and of the people who have worked for the organisation
In the early years of the 20th century photographs were taken of the Royal Mint at Tower Hill showing the workings of the different departments and capturing something of the character of the people who worked for the organisation at that time.
