To finally put a head on this thread(hey a rhyme), Hergest means "head" as in "to put a head on this beer". The word originated in the 1700's as "Hervest" which meant "Harvest" as in barley or corn to make liquor. As this region appealed so well to alcohol enthusiasts, the name cought on. This was "Party Central" at that time. Heavy money made by prostitutes, alcohol sales increased logarithmacally. The quality and quantity of the product increased. By the year 1911, the govt. had a keen interest in this area to use as a WW1 airial luanch area and closed down all bars. You're not buying any of this are you? Jim
