Over the last 25 years Winning Moves UK has produced official versions of MONOPOLY .. from Dubai to Dublin and Palm Beach to Plymouth. Now the dice is rollingupon Hereford.

The game’s sets will be themed from heritage to tourism, culture to charity, sport to shopping – and more – and the train station quartet set that features in the classic original MONOPOLY is being 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.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?”

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. [21] 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 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. [1] [2] He took his secretary Marjory Phillips on a day-trip from the head offices in Leeds to London and the pair looked for suitable locations to use. [3]We have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this unique game together,” says Ella Gibbs, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK, who are the makers of the board under official licensing from Hasbro. “Thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions”.
