This Bird in Hand sign is identical to WMARYR, The Bird in Hand at Henlow Camp and the Falcon at Park Street near St Albans (WMB1WX).
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This well known saying is a fairly common name for pubs. Here it is a traditional falconer's gloved hand and a falcon. There are other versions around the country from rather crass depictions of a man with a young woman in his arms, to dialect versions of the names.
Name of Artist: Not known.
Date of current sign: Not known.
