Description

The Royal Pump Rooms was a centre for its mineral springs bringing people far and wide to take its waters. It became a fashionable watering place in late Georgian England and is still a building of beauty today." The Weaver’s House is unusual for a historical building of this age because it was lived in by a working class family. Many of these type of buildings are long gone. The Weaver’s House has survived through the centuries by adapting and accommodating the different trades of Coventry from cloth makers and farm workers, through to silk ribbons and watch making, to cycle making and finally, in its last incarnation, in a row of shops. It is now a Grade 2 Star listed heritage building which has regularly been open to the public since 2007, via free Open Days. We celebrated our tenth anniversary in 2017 and recreated our own version of the famous Coventry Blue colour. In the heart of our Coventry Myton Hospice, Charlotte Brah, at just 38 years old, and her family are redefining strength and love in the face of terminal breast cancer... Ms Gibbs said: “In between Lady Godiva and The Elephant Building (which is Coventry’s ‘Old Kent Road’) are the ‘great and good of Coventry’.

While other suggestions, such as Club Release, Primark and Greggs, were of a more lighthearted nature (or at least we hope they were). The game usually starts in March each year but was launched later. This was no doubt because of “freedom day” and the end of restrictions. The Coventry Monopoly Edition game is being launched to mark our year in the spotlight as UK City of Culture, which starts next month. Monopoly's UK distributor Winning Moves said: "Each location has been specially selected for its local interest and broad appeal. The utilities and stations in the game reflect local services, and many spaces are inspired by popular local businesses for an authentic and modern experience. Who will be the first to claim Drapers' Hall for their own? Maybe Coventry Canal Basin will bring you a step closer to success. Featuring stunning and authentic photography from the local area, there’s plenty to enjoy whether you’re a seasoned Monopoly expert or a first-time player. So grab a token, roll the dice and seek your fortune."

I’m delighted with the national recognition Monopoly has bestowed on us, with us beating off other very worthy towns. It puts the town I proudly serve squarely on the Monopoly map!" The Chance and Community Chest cards will also be customised in the game which is set to hit the shelves in October. What's more, the public now has the chance to decide and shape the board during a two-week period of consultation in which any and all landmarks and locations can be suggested for inclusion.

Try and enter the code first thing in the morning, or even in the middle of the night, as you will have less competition with others. We are delighted to announce that we are the first organisation to ‘Pass GO’ on the new Coventry MONOPOLY board! Monopoly derives from The Landlord's Game, invented in the USA in 1903 by Lizzie Magie. In 1934 Charles Darrow started selling a similar game called Monopoly - Parker Brothers bought the rights to both a year later.READ MORE: 'I tried jars of curry sauce from M&S, Aldi, Lidl and Asda - one was like getting a takeaway' We are delighted to be launching the Coventry Monopoly Board at Coventry Building Society Arena and continuing to celebrate the 2021 City of Culture.” Landmarks, streets and charities from across our fair city have been chosen for a spot on the board of the new Monopoly: Coventry Edition game. Monopoly fans can now play a Royal Leamington Spa edition of the iconic game (Image: Winning Moves UK) Coventry's new Monopoly board will be revealed today (Friday) and we'll find out who has been given the coveted 'Mayfair' square.

The news represents something of double boost for the royal town in King Charles III's coronation year. Ella Gibbs, custom games executive at Winning Moves UK, said: "Royal Leamington Spa has a plethora of leading landmarks to fill the board. We expect to be wonderfully spoiled for choice putting this game together." It’s fantastic that Leamington has been selected to be the latest town to feature on what is a truly iconic board game, and we’re thrilled to have a spot on the board." Ella Gibbs said there was an 'overwhelming' response from the public when Winning Moves asked for square suggestions when plans for the Leamington game were announced earlier this year. That’s because the game is themed in sets and in the orange section of the board - the most landed on because of its location to the Jail - we wanted a shopping theme in keeping with lots of players landing in that section of the board, as lots of people shop in Leamington's great shopping destinations. We have been wonderfully spoiled for choices putting this game together." Prize Draws Peel – win an entry to one of nine prize draws (winner announced after the game closure)

If you kept last years, they are now worthless. Among them are the Belgrade Theatre, Lady Godiva and Coventry's three cathedrals - all kept together in a single set - from over the years.
