Hi all, I always thought that the Bird In the Hand was at the corner of John & Elizabeth St Singleton and operated by Andrew and Agnes Carnavon Lic. No: 134 20 April 1857. So there must have been more than one bird in the hand terry -----Original Message----- From: Diane [mailto:dianep@optushome.com.au] Sent: Saturday, 24 August 2002 11:11 AM To: AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [H,H,HV] Inn - Bird in the Hand Hi Russell and listers, My understanding is that Hugh KELLY's "Bird in Hand", formerly located on the corner of Wrights and Windsor Roads (Kellyville), was a different establishment to that of Daniel SMALLWOOD's "Bird in Hand" at Pitt Town.
