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

It's the English Hampstead though, as it had a British stamp and postmark on.

New Hampshire, isn't that America? We need someone who can identify which Hampstead it is by the post mark Hampstead S.O.N.W.

SO NW stands for Sorting Office, North West (London)

Silly me. 

I found Hampshire Historical Society on Facebook and looked at their map. There I saw Hampstead, Manchester, Nottingham.

If I had scrolled the map upwards I would have spotted BOSTON.

Had I had scrolled the map upwards I would have spotted BOSTON. 

Which is, of course, in Lincolnshire!

So it seems as if, unless for some strange reason the person bought a postcard elsewhere and posted it in Hampstead, London that's where we need to look.

Behind the "pinfold" are three signs. Is there anything discernable on the street sign?

I'd never heard of a pinfold before, but there do seem to be 'bars' around it. I learn something new every day on rootschat. 

I originally thought the small structure might contain watering troughs for animals, but I don't think that's right ....

Bovingdon is a possibility.  Not far from Hampstead (20 plus miles or so), and people do buy postcards of places they visit and write them up when they get home and then post them.

I don't know how to post links so can't show the scene I am referring to unfortunately.

Re my previous post.  I found the possibility on website "Our Dacorum" Towns and Villages.  Bovingdon.  2nd photo on top line.
