We asked Wellingtonians what should go on Telford's Monopoly board - see their picks and tell us yours

Shropshire's largest town will soon join dozens of other towns and cities, including Shrewsbury, Chester and Wolverhampton, to boast regional versions of the iconic board game.

From now until February 19, Telfordians are being asked to get in touch with developers at Winning Moves UK and tell them which local landmarks and organisations should be featured on the new board. 

After the announcement, the Shropshire Star popped down to Wellington to see what locals think about the latest news - and ask what they'd like to see featured in the game.

"That's really exciting," said Rebecca Palin, who was helping out her son Matt Palin at Odd Pals in Wellington Market. 

"You've got to include all of the museums - Blists Hill, Enginuity, Jackfield Tile Museum, the pipe museum - there's loads!"

Matt, however, didn't want the historic town of Wellington to be missed off the board.

He said: "I definitely want Wellington Market on there. Next to Ironbridge, there's not a more historic place in the whole of Telford. It's been here longer than almost everywhere else in the town - and Odd Pals too, of course."

Angela Auerbach of Hello Gorgeous cafe and pizza bar went one step further, arguing that the whole of Market Street was worthy of its own colour.

"It could be the whole board!" she said. "There's a lot of old businesses here that have been here a long, long time and there are lots of new businesses too."

Sally Themans, of Love Wellington, agreed: "There are some fantastic gems in Wellington such as its well maintained station complete with secret garden, the cricket club with its stunning backdrop, the ancient Wellington lanes and of course - the jewel in the crown - Wellington market."

The developers have indicated that Telford Town Park could feature on a green square, which will highlight other green landmarks from the town.

"It's got to be the Wrekin," said Emma Perks, who runs Spinning Around Records on the town's high street. 

"I used to work in the West Midlands and even there people would talk about the Wrekin. It's our big town landmark, when you're travelling home and you see the Wrekin you know you're not far away from home."

It's also been suggested by the developers that, due to the lack of main-line railway stations in Telford, the quartet of stations from the classic game will take on a broader 'travel' theme.

Rebecca suggested the Telford Steam Railway could make up the extra station next to Wellington, Telford and Oakengates, whereas Matt flagged up the Telford50 walking route as being worthy of a transport square.

Ideas should be submitted by 11.59pm on February 19, with the game set for release in time for Christmas 2025.
