SEAN Bean has been spotted filming on a quiet street in Warrington.

The actor, known for his roles in the likes of The Lord of the Rings, Sharpe, Troy, and Time, was on Pickering Crescent in Thelwall.

He and camera crews were using a house on the street to film.

It is believed the much-loved star was working on a title called Avelyn and that he is playing the role of an ex-soldier.

The Warrington Guardian has been told that the project appears to be set in the 80s.

It comes after it was revealed earlier this year that Warrington is a wanted area for film crews.

This is according to the council who said they receive ‘multiple enquiries’ each year.

Most recently, cameras were spotted at Walton Hall and Gardens.

And back in January, film crews took over Orford for Sky One comedic drama series Brassic.
