Thank you for everyone's help so far - it is very much appreciated.  As my OP mentioned, it is the original newspaper article that I am trying to find.  I have included attached details about my Nan:

I think you will have to consider contacting the National Library of Wales and ask them if they have any newspapers for 1937.

Contact details:-  gofyn@llgc.org.uk
Phone. 01970 632 800

Email them and explain what you are looking for and attach a copy of the newspaper clipping that you have.  Then you will have to wait and see what response you get.

I don't know if there was a local Welsh Daily Mirror which is now defunct which is why no-one can find anything on the British Newspaper Archive or Find My Past.  It may be that the 1937 edition has not been put online.

I may have to wait a bit as "There will be a restricted Enquiries Service for an unspecified period due to the uncertainty caused by COVID-19. We will attempt to answer all enquiries if practically possible and hope to return to a full service soon."

Yes, not a lot you can do about that.  Just have to wait until they can respond to your query.  They will get back to you but it will take longer than their usual length of time.

This is a common problem with the "working from home" regime.
 
I have recently been trying to get a view from the local Planning dept regarding a proposal before embarking on a full blown application.

A "preapp" enquiry was £75 and submitted with the application in July this year. I had an acknowledgement that they had received it and registered it on 10th October (having cashed my cheque back in July!), and had allocated it to a Case Officer.

To add insult to injury when I enquired this week as to any further progress I was told that the CO was now on study leave followed by annual leave and would be back in the office around 9th November.  Bah!

Very top left of the cutting is a number 46. Is that a page number do you think, or something left over from another article?

If it's a page number then the article is unlikely to be from the national Daily Mirror, which only ran to 28 pages at that time as far as I can see.
