Frank or Luke's place? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postmark

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'frank' is the definition.
(I know that frank can be written as postmark)

'luke's place?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'place?' could be 'post' ('post' can be a synonym of 'place') and 'post' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mark' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postmark that I've seen before include "It shows date and time of mailing" , "Frank" , "Stamp cancellation" , "Stamp franking" , "It is stamped on envelope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
