I came across a display about the history of world football, and on the first board I saw the attached photo. Can anybody tell me where and when this photo was taken?

That's great. Thanks for taking the time to find out.

Afterwards I did a search on the 1908 Charity Shield photos and came across this guy in Sweden who's written up a history of QPR : http://web.comhem.se/norre/qprart/qpr.html

My Hibs supporting nephew had hospitality in the JR 'suite' and I told him he'd be fine as long as he remembered to wipe his feet on the way out
