From the Internet

Fownhope is a village in Herefordshire, England, an area of outstanding natural beauty on the banks of the River Wye. The population of the village at the 2011 Census was 999. The village has a church, St. Mary's Parish Church; primary school, St. Mary's C of E Primary School; medical centre, Fownhope Medical Centre; two pubs.

Thanks for that interesting info Barry, I recently bought this in Hay on Wye but didn't see Fownhope

Can you find the girls who wrote the postcard, possibly in the 1911 census?
Names look to be Gwladys? and Beat... something? Unusual enough names perhaps?
The occupations or addresses might help.

Eliza Frances Stone nee Samuell (the recipient) was born in Blackheath, Kent on 26 Feb 1878 but by 1901 was in Fownhope with an aunt - Harriet Samuel, licensed victualler at the Green Man public house.

I suggest this may be a photograph of her schooldays there, sent in reminiscence by schoolfriends Gwladys and Beatrice/Beatrix years later.

That would be difficult without the surnames at the moment. Reuben and Eliza only had one Daughter Esther at the time of the 1911 census so more research is needed there. I have contacted a tree owner who have the Family at that address in 1911.
Thanks again.

I thought it would be the next generation as it is post dated 1936 but i am open to suggestions 
Thanks again.

Excellent. I was hoping that Gwladys might be unusual enough to find without a surname.
