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. On selected weekends we will be offering our 5-STAR Princess/character shows with a difference," the pair said.

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]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] Orbanes, Philip (2007).

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?” 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 Monopoly Game 2 · 1997 · Monopoly Star Wars · Monopoly (Nintendo 64) · 1999 · Monopoly Tycoon · Monopoly Here and Now · Monopoly Streets · 2010
