EAST Grinstead may not be paved with gold but eagle-eyed town historian Michael Leppard raised £74.35 for the town museum fund by picking up coins he found in the street over the last year.

Michael has given a total of £1,489.62 to the museum since starting his novel fund-raising efforts in 1985.

He says that while walking around the town centre he keeps a particularly close eye on the pavements outside banks and by bus stops where people fumble for change.
