Mocatta appointed as official broker in gold and silver to the Bank of England, a role the firm held exclusively for over a hundred years. The Bank's own Bullion Warehouse (later the Bullion Office) opened in 1732. Almost all gold coming into the country was lodged and weighted there. London was now the premier gold market...
So the BoE probably took in, and spent, nearly all the precious metal in England. There was about 100k oz in 1763.
