well if the queen is planning on a weekend dredging trip I hope she knows the rules.

Maybe she has plans for Boris?

My understanding is Claim which was registered under a company. looks like the company was struck of the register.
maybe ground was forfeited

You would need to be experienced to work a river that size and have pretty good gear

Looks like the company was Golden Pocket Limited registered under a guy called Garry Barnes from Cromwell.
