The board is themed largely around sets – heritage, arts, sport, commerce, public parks, entertainment and other categories.

Kirkgate Shopping Centre could maybe take up occupancy on Oxford Street (home of British shopping)? City Hall – the seat of local ‘government’– could replace Whitehall from the original traditional London MONOPOLY game?The locations on the standard British version of the board game Monopoly are set in London and were selected in 1935 by Victor Watson, managing director of John Waddington Limited. Watson became interested in the board game after his son Norman had tried the Parker Brothers original US version and recommended the company produce a board for the domestic market.

She had managed to get the serial pulled off air at an earlier court hearing but the successful appeal by the TV company gives the greenlight to it being screened. Mr Barnes said: “We would like to formally thank the great and greater Bradford and district public for all its wonderful input. The sun also welcomed Mr Monopoly who was mobbed around parts of the Dales as we announced the exciting news.
