In 1915 plans were made for a new machine which would break the stalemate of trench warfare along the Western front during the First World War. A room at the White Hart hotel in Lincoln was where the plans for what would become the first tank were drawn up, with the prototypes built and tested in the city by William Foster & Co before their introduction to combat at the battle of the Somme in 1916.
