The Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Maureen Creaghan, said: “This is a really exciting opportunity for people to share their ideas about Warrington locations that should be included as part of this iconic game. However, no city or town in Cheshire has ever had its very own game. In 2001 there was a part Chester one, with other Cheshire towns featuring too.
Warrington will become the very first Cheshire place to land its own official MONOPOLY game. “We are going to be spoilt for choice with Warrington’s heritage putting this edition together,” says MONOPOLY’s Jennifer Lau.
The Warrington edition of the world’s most popular and famous board game will see the typical addresses, landmarks and playing cards from the original MONOPOLY game, replaced by Warrington landmarks.Īlthough famed for being a ‘New Town’ that saw a population boom in the 1960s, Warrington’s history dates back to the eighth century.
