Another recreation ground available to Rugbeians was the Whitehall Recreation Ground on Hillmorton Road, which housed a 28-ton, armoured First World War tank presented to the town in 1919, in recognition of contributions to National War Savings. In 1940 the tank was sold for scrap as part of a new war effort.
