Bird In The Hand Inn, Colonial Georgian inn in Pitt Town, Australia.

Bird In The Hand Inn is a colonial Georgian inn in Pitt Town featuring sandstock brick walls and a steeply pitched hipped roof clad in iron. The seven-bay skillion verandah with timber posts gives the building its distinctive early colonial character.

Daniel Smallwood built the first Bird in the Hand opposite today's site on Bathurst Street in 1825 and held the licence until 1840. Surveys of 1827 and 1841 show the present corner vacant, so this building dates from after 1841, likely the late 1840s. Richard Mawson took over in the 1850s and renamed it the Maid of Australia; it closed in 1896 and became a general store. Restoration finished in 1987, when it reopened as a hotel under its original name.

The inn's name changed with its licensees: Richard Mawson renamed it the Maid of Australia in the 1850s, and it kept that name until closing in 1896, when it became a general store. It reopened as a hotel under the original Bird In The Hand name in 1987, after restoration work finished that year.

The inn is located on Eldon Street and is easily found in Pitt Town. Today it houses a restaurant, bar, and gaming area that visitors can use.

The 1827 and 1841 surveys of Pitt Town record the present Eldon Street site as vacant land, so today's building dates from after 1841, probably the late 1840s. The original 1825 Bird in Hand stood opposite, in Bathurst Street, with Daniel Smallwood as first licensee.
