The most you could hope to find out is the Post Office where it was posted. If it has a printed label rather than ordinary stamps there is a 6 (or is it 7?) digit code that is unique to one Post Office. Whether the PO would tell you which office it is is another matter. If it's stamps and a postmark all you can tell is the town, sometimes only the county, where it was first sorted.
