I became good friends with Jamal over his 30 years in Bridge Street and we stood together in the 2015 local elections. We joked together about having tea and samosas in the Mayors Parlour. 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. We shall be formally going through each and every one - once polls have closed – before starting to put this unique edition together."Being rolled out TOMORROW .. the brand new official MONOPOLY: Hereford Edition game from Winning Moves UK and global play and entertainment brand Hasbro.
