I hope one of you might know the answer to this!

I am making a jigsaw with a picture which is a painting of a busy street with a large department store. Because it is a painting I assumed it was fictional, but now I think it might be a real place. The store is called "Grace Brothers" and calls itself "The Friendly Store". There is a news vendor outside with a placard saying "Concorde goes supersonic", which dates it to about 1970/80. There is also a No 67 double-decker bus, red with a wide yellow stripe and a destination of Keighley.

Has anyone any idea where it might be - if anywhere!! :-)

If it’s a painting is there a signature?

The 67n bus runs from Bradford to Keighley according to Google so that might be of some help to you :-D

EDIT according to google Grace Bros store was in Bradford.
