This is familiar, I think we are down in Cornwall at Lanhydroc, visited several times and possibly will be going down there again this summer

A bit of a change this time. The building is nothing particularly special, the country should be fairly easy to guess but what city or town is it?
The photo was taken over 40 years ago (sorry about the colour cast but slides of that age are deteriorating) but the building still exists and looks largely unchanged, only a few coats of paint and a change of use.

Obviously South Africa. The title means ladies' men's and children's Outfitters

At one time every Dorp had a shop like that. I would guess it's probably the Boland, Paarl, Stellenbosch somewhere like that. My intuitive guess would be Paarl

Cape is correct it is Cape Province but not in the Boland. A bit further south.
