Officially the oldest imitation Christmas tree in the world the 14th inch tree was originally bought in 1886.
Paul Parker received the tree which has been passed down through his family for three generations, originally bought for only six pence the tree is now thought to be worth in excess of £1000.
Families all over the country follow the same annual tradition of getting the artificial Christmas tree out of its box when the time comes to put up the decorations. But the Parker family has been doing it longer than any other because they are still using a tree they first bought in 1886.
