Which shop ?

Sale time in 1968. But which shop ? At first I thought it was Lewis's, but the carrier bag (bottom right) reminds me of Rackhams. Then I thought, surely Rackhams didn't display their sale items like this. It looks like a basement area. I'm leaning towards Lewis's. Maybe someone can tell by the "Sale" signage ?

It’s Clark’s shoes mainly in the background and a small display of Norvic Kiltie which is a brand that I don’t recognise.

Those were the days when we had real sales! Lots of bargains.
