Diving for Cash:

Diving for cash: For 12 vears regulars at the Three Cups in Stamford Bridge have been throwing their loose change down a 30ft well through port holes in the bar. Diver Phil Peace went down the well from a trapdoor behind the bar" to coin in the treasure and raised about £300 for charity. The monev was split between the Save the Children fund and the RNLl. The origins of the pub are not clear but it seems the well was formerly part of a farmhouse kitchen.
