Norwich gets given the Monopoly treatment!

One of the most iconic board games of all time, Monopoly is the go to family entertainment for millions of households around the country. As well as giving parents, kids and siblings the chance to pit their wits against each other, the game is also a great way for young people to start thinking about property values. Although prices have gone up considerably since the game was first invented, the idea of desirable streets and up coming areas still exists to this day.
