History of Nath & Jane Ann Hiscock’s Shop
____________________________
Nath came from a large fishing family , The Hiscock’s ,
one of biggest fishing families in the community. Sadly , at a
very young age (early 20’s ) he was in an accident
on a fishing schooner off Baccalieu Island that
resulted in loosing his leg and having a prosthetic
His fishing days then over, he married Jane Ann (Pinhorn) when they were both in their early 30’s and opened their small family
store from front of their house in approx. 1946. They operated there for many years until the
early 1970’s , when due to illness they closed their doors. Growing up, there have always been many
fond stories shared, like the ones here. Things are very different now but memories
of these times live through our family still. These pictures posted on this page from time to time are from my family’s collection , mostly taken by Nath's brother Jake Hiscock and show how things were . The artifacts I have and will display in the store are things that were common in all the corner shops in a typical Newfoundland outport at that time. Some highlights of their store include owning the very first gas pump on the Trinity Bay
Shore, serving fresh fruits when available and
making ice cream sandwiches etc which are told
to have been a real treat at that time. They also
owned one of the very first color TV’s in
Winterton – Saturday nights were a night to have
lots of friends over to watch hockey or wrestling
and enjoy a drink and a ‘feed’. Nath & Jane Ann’s
was fondly known by everyone as a great place
to visit and enjoy and always a hub of activity! (*Note - you may notice when you see stories that Nath's name is spelled with a " th " - his given name was Nathaniel and indeed Nath was the shortened version,. However , with our typical outport way of speaking , it came out as "Nat"....and when designing our signage it just didn't seem to look right as "Nath" knowing it would be pronounced that way!
