Bradford Monopoly Board Game

Product Information

Graham Barnes, Communications Director of the board’s makers Winning Moves UK, said “Many of the sets are in themes, and this one is a park theme. They are in a modestly-priced part of the board because they are public parks, so we wouldn’t want to price them out of anyone’s reach.”

In the total scheme, the progress of a millworker through life from the cradle to the grave is taken care of. As age advanced he or she moved up from the streets of housing into the Hospital or into the Almshouses, all completed in 1868. In the latter, intended for the aged and infirm of good moral character, there is much more decorative detail than in the houses, as well as a planted open space. Presumably there was more time to stand and stare in the evening of life, and besides this group provides the ornamental introduction to the village as approached along the main axis, Victoria Road. This is the kind of news that Dr Linstrum and all conservationists had been waiting for, but time is short, and all depends upon acquiring the premises from the present owners. The New Mill, below the river, has already suffered from vandalism, and as Ken Powell wrote in his introduction to the seminar, Monopoly: Bradford Edition is a version of the classic boardgame published by Winning Moves Games in 2011 and featuring the City of Bradford, a metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire, in Northern England.The annual Legal Service / Extraordinary Drawers feature (The Telegraph and Argus) (5th February 2019)

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.

In 1847 Edward Akroyd had commissioned the design for the village around Copley Mill in the Calder valley, which seems to have been related to, if not directly inspired by, Disraeli's novel, Sybil: or the Two Nations. MPs stand with Ukraine in show of unity as pressure grows for tighter sanctions against Putin’s oligarchs – The Yorkshire Post says (2nd March 2022) The final list mixes well-known landmarks with relatively obscure locations. There appears to be no specific motivation for how they were chosen; when the travel writer Tim Moore searched the Waddingtons' company archives he did not uncover any relevant documentation. [13]

There were, of course, two reasons for the commissioning of such a design. There was the practical requirement to keep a permanent pool of labour near the mills, coupled with the sensible belief that healthy and contented workers are more productive. This is not in any way to belittle the purely philanthropic aims of Akroyd, Crossley and Salt - they were genuine enough - but simply common sense. The almost contemporary publication of Sybil, as well as Coningsby, another Disraeli novel, in the previous year, with the inauguration of the West Riding industrial villages, cannot be coincidental. But who influenced whom? As Disraeli wrote elsewhere, 'The restless mind creates and observes at the same time', and he, Akroyd, Crossley and Salt certainly possessed restless minds. The board is themed largely around sets – heritage, arts, sport, commerce, public parks, entertainment and other categories. The Angel is a former pub, not a street. It was a Lyons Corner House in 1935 and is reportedly where Watson and Phillips stopped for lunch. [25] Members of the congregation attend a prayer vigil marking the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at Bradford Cathedral (24th February 2023) Dr Linstrum then turned to the subject of conservation, through questions put to him by members of an international Summer School visiting Saltaire on a pleasant Sunday evening. They were all impressed by this unique, world-famous village, and asked what controls were placed upon it and what special benefits accrued to such a place. They learnt about Section 10 and Town Scheme Grants and that all the buildings were listed. They were relieved to hear that the threat posed by a motorway had now receded, and that all seemed well.it is difficult to speak with any particular enthusiasm or appreciation … It is regarded by some people as the most wonderful place in Airedale and possibly in the world; and it is certainly worth a careful inspection if only for the sake of proving how very uninteresting and featureless a model village can be." Winning Moves, manufacturers of this version of the Monopoly game under license from Hasbro, announced earlier in the year that there would be a game for the city. The shortest street on the board; it is 70 feet (21m) long. Since Vine Street has no pubs, a typical Monopoly pub crawl visits the connecting Swallow Street instead. [27] Another factor which contributed to the decline of Salts and other firms in the Bradford district was that when the founder died the sons who inherited the business did not always inherit a full share of their father's commitment and loyalty to the working community he had created. Young men who had tasted public school life, and perhaps university education, were not likely to return easily to their roots. They were a different breed from Titus Salt and the self-made men of his generation. The Salt family represented an extreme example of this process of withdrawal from the business community to which they owed their prosperity. Indeed, by 1892, only one of the five sons, Edward, remained as an active member of the firm. Of the others, Titus had died in 1887; George was living comfortably in London; Herbert had been a gentleman farmer at Bell Busk for many years, and William Henry had retired to the life of the country gentleman in Leicestershire. The senior directorship was held by Charles Stead, who had first become a partner in 1856. In 1892, only sixteen years after Titus Salt's death, the firm, which like many others had been experiencing trading difficulties, was wound up, and the assets were sold to a consortium of Bradford businessmen who revived its fortunes. 3.
