I've just found another Hampstead up Manchester way, in New Hampshire.

Hi Jamjar, Many thanks. The HAMPSTEAD postmark is that on London  - North West. Cancelled at the Sorting Office there Hence "HAMPSTEAD S.O.N.W."

Thank you VERY much to everyone for your help/input ESPECIALLY Rhododendron who cracked it. BRILLIANT!

So it was a Well - The Ryder Memorial Well.

Thanks again!

Now I look at the tinkered image it could be HINSON. 

It's definitely Hinson. See reply 34

I'm thinking that the postcard could have been bought in Hampstead as simply a "pretty village" card.
