Jul. 07, 1967 - The covered Wag on comes to Polperro. The horse has come into its own in the picturesque village of Polperro, Cornwall - popular resort for holidaymakers, which has banned car carrying day trippers to avoid congestion in the narrow streets. As a result of the enterprise of Mrs. Ruth Green, of Larryn, a service has been introduced in which Rumpelsilskin - a five year old gelding - pulls a 12 seater covered farm wagon from the car park to village centre, half mile away, The single fare is 1s 6d.
