The century-old orange should have eaten by Joseph Roberts for his lunch on 19 February, 1891, then a miner working at the Racecourse colliery in Etruria of UK. But a tragic underground blast on the day caused 37-year-old Robberts, to be fatally injured and never have the chance to finish it. The following excerpts is the story behind this unusual fruit:
The fruit belonged to Joseph Roberts who was injured in an explosion at a Stoke-on-Trent colliery in 1891. [..]
Unfortunately, he was badly injured when underground blasting at the colliery went wrong.
He died in hospital leaving a wife and six children.
The lunchbox was one of his effects handed back to his family, who kept it.
Now his great-granddaughter Pam Bettaney has donated it to the Potteries museum in Staffordshire.
