Graham's, Leamington Spa - Unknown Football Team

Stu Fairbridge sent in these scans of a team photo, he's trying to identify the club. Whoever they are they managed to pick up three nice trophies. It's not a postcard, but a large photo mounted and framed. The photographer was based in Leamington Spa, which would make Coventry City the nearest 'big' team and they used to play in sky blue and white stripes around the time of the First World War. Leamington Town must be a possibility too, they won a number of trophies before the First World War, including at least two in the 1912-13 season - Coventry & North Warwickshire League Division One and the Birmingham Junior Cup. I've trimmed the photo down so that appears as large a possible. Does any recognise any players, kit, trophies, the building in the background????
