A family has passed a bread roll down through several generations since 1899.

Terry O'Kelly, 92, is now the proud owner of the product, which was originally given to his grandfather Joseph Harrison upon his release from Wandsworth Prison in south London, Metro reports.

Joseph opted to keep the foodstuff as a reminder of his time in jail, where he was for 14 days after failing to pay a fine for not getting his daughters inoculated against smallpox, and he used to regularly remove the roll from a brown paper bag to show his family and friends.
