Traffic wardens issue tickets for vehicles on Daniel Day-Lewis film set

Parking tickets placed on 1980s background vehicles on set of Anemone

Filming for a new movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis was interrupted when traffic wardens in Chester began putting parking tickets on 1980s vehicles being used in the backdrop of a scene. Filming for the feature took place in Handbridge in Chester earlier this week, but ran into some difficulties after the local council declined an application for a road closure, and traffic wardens began issuing tickets for the prop vehicles parked on double yellow lines. Pictures taken by a local resident showed yellow parking tickets stuck to the windows of a number of vehicles, including a Ford Escort van, with production crew and filming equipment visible in the background.
