After being consulted on Chester's historical sites a few months ago, I was very fortunate to be invited to the launch of the new Chester Monopoly Board...so I decided to take David Atkinson of the Chester Dark Tour as my plus one! The Chester Family Tour even made it onto a chance card! What a lovely event, well done everyone! Fingers crossed that my daughter likes her brand new Chester monopoly board, signed personally by Chester's mayor.
