I use some footage from this great film 'Birth of the Tanks' which you can buy here on DVD - https://www.blowbyblow.co.uk/product-page/birth-of-the-tanks-dvd
or you can rent 'A Tank Unveiled', another great film here, documenting the unveiling of the tank memorial in Lincoln, at Vimeo.

What do you think is England's most underrated city? When I started thinking about this I came to all sorts of answers, and yet the one that seemed most popular was a place I had never been, nor heard anything about....so I knew I had to go check it out.
The city of Lincoln, in Lincolnshire seems (to me anyway) to have slipped under the rader. It is full of incredible history, architecture and designed beautiful with the layout of the town sitting in the hills.
It also has a crazy bit of industrial history as it was here in 1915 that the Tank was invented. As soon as I heard that, I jumped on the train and knew I had to go to Lincoln and see if I can search out a Tank...will I find one, you will have to watch.
I have explored so many areas on this channel, and I truly was shocked at just how little empty retail, shops to let and boarded up buildings I found in Lincoln. It was full of independent businesses and everywhere seemed busy...I was really shocked by this, in a good way.
I left Lincoln thinking this absolutely is an underrated city, but not only that, it seems to have avoided the fate of most other places in the England...maybe we can learn from Lincoln.
Untill Next Time,
