It's a board game that generations have grown up with, and now the Carlisle edition is already marking it's 10th anniversary.

Monopoly launched the special edition of its popular game featuring the city's most prized landmarks back in 2007.

Carlisle favourites replaced the celebrated multi-coloured London landmarks that had been fought over at family get-togethers for decades.

The Carlisle Edition is one of hundreds of versions to have been launched. Numerous different parts of the country have their own version including Cambridge, Exeter and Derby.

There's a board dedicated to Scotland and even a Limerick edition.

Meanwhile players can take on 007, Pokemon and Game of Thrones versions.

The game - which requires negotiating skills and a bit of luck as players buy and trade properties before developing them with houses and hotels - is also licensed to more than 100 countries and printed in more than 45 languages.

Ian Douglas is care services manager at Cumbria Deaf Association (CDA), which takes up the place occupied by the Water Works on the original board.

When word that Carlisle was to get its own Monopoly board came about, he saw it as an opportunity to make his organisation more well know.

Although the charity has been supporting people with hearing impediments across the county since 1894, Mr Douglas said there are still many people who have not heard of their work.

"It's a long time ago but memory of it is that I saw something about it in the paper," he recalled.

"I thought 'I wonder if we could get involved in that'.

"I just thought it would be useful to get our name out there a bit more.

"It's hard to tell if it has but I think it's just one of those things that could help."

The countywide organisation is available to anyone who is deaf or has a hearing impediment.

In Cumbria sign language is the first language of about 500 people, while there are up to 40,000 more with some sort of hearing loss.

English Heritage claimed three spots on the Carlisle board game.

Kendra Grahame-Clarke, interim PR manager of English Heritage North, said: "It’s a privilege to be included on the Monopoly board.

"English Heritage is well represented with Carlisle Castle, Birdoswald Roman Fort as well as Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so a superb representation within a great game which itself enjoys some historical legacy.

"If we can incentivise new visitors to see in real life what they may well have bought during the game, then that’s a win-win situation for us.

"In addition, for family and friends spending time playing a board game is time well spent in our book – long may it last."

Steve Salked, acting principal at Carlisle College said: "We were thrilled to be recognised as an important and iconic landmark within Carlisle.

"Since the Carlisle Edition Monopoly board launched 10 years ago, more than £30m has been invested in our city centre campus which boasts state of the art facilities.

"Being voted to appear on the Monopoly board recognises the key role that the college has to play in the city as we develop skills to enhance the future for students and the economic prosperity of the area."
