The Ribble Steam Railway and Museum have revealed that they have their own Monopoly space on the new Preston edition of the world-famous board game.

Appearing in the game on one of the light blue squares, the railway and museum is among many of the local landmarks and attractions.

The new board was released a few days ago and will no doubt prove popular in the run-up to Christmas

Other places include the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, along with Deepdale, and Avenham Park.

The new edition is now available at stores across Preston as well as very widely available online, including on Amazon.

There has been lots of local praise for the new board game

The Mayor of Preston, Cllr David Borrow, says: “This is a very tough time for Preston and Lancashire so we need all the good news we can get. Preston’s very own MONOPOLY game – highlighting what’s special about the city – is great and just in time for Christmas.”

And Mark Whittle, Preston BID Manager, adds: “Preston is fortunate to be home to many outstanding landmarks, businesses and charities.

“MONOPOLY conjures up lots of great memories for so many people – this we are sure will be the perfect gift for Christmas.”

George Shrimpton, Custom Games Executive at Winning Moves UK, says: “We feel the game is a Love Letter to Preston. It is also, perhaps, the perfect limited lockdown gift and must-have for Christmas.”
