Possibly the local town library(ies) will have copies or else possibly the Cardiff Central Library (they have the Western Mail at least).

The most local FH library would be Treorchy.

The others around this area are Aberdare and Pontypridd.

Not sure what dates are held for papers...but have found them very helpful when able.
