It was close though, with Stratford beating nearest rivals Shrewsbury by one per cent of the vote. Leamington finished third, Warwick and Gloucester made up the other towns in contention for the title.

Stratford people can now vote for which famous landmarks and streets should be included on the new board game which goes on sale in October.
