Hereford is blessed with great landmarks which will get to replace the famous classic MONOPOLY streets like Mayfair and Park Lane,” says Ella Gibbs from the makers of the new game Winning Moves UK. The board’s ‘Big Reveal’ is in The Ballroom at the Green Dragon Hotel, Hereford, THIS Thursday (6th October 2022)– when a GIGANTIC life-size replica of the game will be rolled out, revealing:

LANDMARKS ‘PASS GO’:Other Hereford landmarks featuring include: The Green Dragon Hotel, The Bull Statue, the Waterworks Museum, Edgar Street Stadium, the Racecourse, the Cattle Market and the Courtyard Theatre. Having "desperately searched" for a new venue where they could continue their offering but also expand, they have decided to open Enchanted Tea House – with a twist. The only location south of the River Thames; also the only one both outside and more than one tube stop away from the Circle line. [24] END OF LINE FOR STATION SET:The four train stations from the classic London MONOPOLY original become a ‘travel’ set. That’s because, unlike in the capital, there are not a multitude of main line stations to choose from in Hereford. The London version of the game was successful, and in 1936 it was exported to Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, [4] becoming the de facto standard board in the British Commonwealth. [5] It became such a success in the UK that Waddingtons ran Monopoly competitions in locations depicted on the board; one such contest was held on platforms 3 and 4 of Fenchurch Street station. [6] The resulting board has been perennially popular around the world, with the chosen locations becoming familiar to millions. [7] Tourists from as far as Canada, Singapore and Saudi Arabia have been known to visit specific locations in London because of their presence on the Monopoly board. [5] In 2003, Watson's grandson (also called Victor Watson) unveiled a plaque at what is now a branch of The Co-operative Bank, the original location of the Angel, Islington, to commemorate the elder Watson's contribution to British popular culture.

To qualify and be in the running to be selected as one of the three, the charities have to be Hereford focused and be official charities. Original British Monopoly boards have Old Kent Road and Whitechapel Road in a dark purple group, rather than brown. [23] We are unbelievably excited about this next step and really hope that you will continue to support what we believe to be the only business of its kind in Hereford and the surrounding areas.Josh Davies, from Hereford, said the announcement had "blown up with positive comments" and the pair can't wait to open the doors in the new year. The game will see the multi-coloured property squares all themed around city landmarks – with the Chance and Community Chest cards customised too. At today’s announcement that Hereford has landed the honour of its very own customised MONOPOLY game, the public will be invited to suggest landmarks to feature on the board. “The game will reflect the flavour and feel of these suggestions,” adds Ms Gibbs.“The public consultation process will last for three weeks.” In February it was announced that Hereford had seen off 24 other places to land its’ very own official MONOPOLY board.
