The board’s ‘Big Reveal’ was on 6October 2022, with the game hitting the shops that morning, both in the city and online - and we get to featureas the ‘Mayfair ofHereford’. Hereford Sixth Form College staff members Abbie and Lynn celebrate with Mr Monopoly, Executive Principal Peter Cooper and Vice Principal Phil Tranter. 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 stations were the four London termini of the London and North Eastern Railway, principally King's Cross, which served Waddingtons' home town of Leeds. Original Monopoly boards manufactured before the Transport Act 1947 and the nationalisation of the railways use the name "L.N.E.R." on each title deed card; later boards showed " British Railways" instead.

NEWS | Launching THIS WEEK! Hereford Monopoly Game being rolled out on 6th October with 30 local landmarks and organisations part of the game Note: the table excludes the non-specific "Go", "Jail", "Electric Company", "Free Parking", "Water Works" and "Go To Jail" squares. Chance and Community Chest squares are also omitted. We believe we have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this unique game together and can't wait for launch day on Thursday," said Ella Gibbs, custom games executive at Winning Moves UK, who are the makers of the board under official licensing from Hasbro.THE CITY’S NEW ‘MAYFAIR’:Hereford Cathedral will be unveiled as the ‘Mayfair of Hereford’. The makers of this game say the Cathedral faced “stiff opposition” for the top ranked slot. 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. [8] [9] Running the Cathedral closest in the Mayfair was The Green Dragon Hotel. It gets to land on Park Lane – the second ranked space. And with the Cathedral is in the most expensive set. The Green Dragon Hotel has also landed a double as it is where the official launch of the game is taking place, with The Mayor of Hereford Cllr. Mark Dykes attending.

The brand-new official Monopoly: Hereford Edition game will be revealed at the Green Dragon, in Broad Street, as a part of a launch party. Bosses at Winning Moves UK say a variety of factors were used in deciding Hereford from across 25 cities and towns in the West Midlands and western Midlands. These factors include ‘pride’, ‘landmarks’, ‘beauty’ and ‘sense of family’.

In this unique edition of the world’s most famous board game ALL the famous multi-coloured MONOPOLY property squares like Mayfair and Park Lane from the classic MONOPOLY London original are represented by Hereford landmarks and organisations. The Community Chest and Chance cards and the money are Hereford themed too. Executive Principal, Peter Cooper expressed his excitement: “Monopoly is part of many of our childhoods and I am delighted that the Sixth Form College has a prominent position on the board along with other icons such as the Cathedral, the Green Dragon and Castle Green. Only a select group of places worldwide have featured in specialist editions and it is a great honour for Hereford and our community that we have been chosen. The day tasks of studying, teaching, enrichment and socialising must go on but I won’t be surprised to see a few impromptu games breaking out in the near future. Now where is that top hat?”

BUILD YOUR HEREFORD EMPIRE: Buy up colour sets and use your custom Monopoly money to expand your empire by building houses and hotelsThe 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: Since it was announced in February that Hereford would be getting its very own version of the classic game, speculation has been rife as to which names would replace Old Kent Road and Mayfair – the cheapest and most expensive squares. Not a street, but a location in London (between Piccadilly, Regent Street, Oxford Street and Park Lane). The most expensive square on the board, and in reality. [29] The train station quartet set that features on the classic original MONOPOLY will be handed over to a travel theme for the new Hereford edition. That’s because Hereford doesn’t have a multitude of main line stations to select from like in the London MONOPOLY original.
