Bird in Hand, Cook Street
The only known licensee, in 1850/51, was also a silk ribbon weaver.The proverbial saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" is of great antiquity and may have suggested this sign, a popular one since the seventeenth century. Traditionally it was illustrated by a mailed fist on which a falcon was perched. | |||
