There is long (and long-lived) topic about the Quarry on the Lincs board.

You may find it helpful.  There are several mentions of 1968.

Possible Matthew Lynch born in Newcastle, Kells, Meath, Ireland on 28 Oct 1896


A Matthew LYNCH with that date of birth was a hospital porter at University College Hospital (London) in 1939.
He was said to be Single.

In the book "John Halifax, Gentleman", Halifax lived with Abel Fletcher.  The latter's house is usually depicted as the Bell Hotel which stands on Church St, opposite the Abbey.

The explains the context of "staying there" in the message on the card.

Could it be an approximation to Solderer? (sticking things together with molten metal using a soldering iron)

Allied occupations could be Tinsmith, Whitesmith and such things.
