Sent in by Brian Sessions of Bedhampton, here we see a marvellous tinted photo from 1939. It was taken at 33, Madeira Road, Copnor just before the party set off for Wembley for the 1939 cup final. On the left is Stan Davis Brian's uncle. Next to him is George Sessions, Brian's father and third from the left is his grandfather George Sessions. The man far right is a neighbour. The car was a Ford 8 or 10 no doubt the 'latest in motoring' in those days.
