From a similar viewpoint.

Soldiers soldiers everywhere during the titles. Thames Street, Windsor.

With the Harte & Garter public house centre background.

Marching along High Street, Windsor with the Guildhall in the background.

The same location now.

The band turns into Castle Hill, Windsor. The town has hosted many of the 'Carry On' films this street also appears in 'The Vulture', 'The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu' and 'The Mudlark'.

No soldiers when I visited. No statue either!! I took it from the wrong angle.

Passing through the gates of Windsor Castle. Castle Hill, Windsor.

I was assured by a Castle Guide that this was the gate used as there isn't another like it. The focal length of the film camera plays tricks.

American tourists (Mavis Villiers and Lloyd Lamble) on High Street, Windsor.

Lovely new, shiny bus shelter.

Brian crosses High Street, Windsor.

Not much changed here.

Nearly at work. High Street, Eton.

I am indebted to the good folk at the Two Brewers Pub, Park Street, Windsor for pointing out that this building is in Eton not Windsor. Ronnie must have walked the long way round.

Brian's workplace - a bank at the junction of High Street, Thames Street, Peascod Street and Castle Hill in Windsor. The corner can be also seen in 'The Stranger Left No Card'.

The bank is still a bank.

The bank manager, Mr. Bromley (Arthur Lowe) on his way to work.

Bromley notices the Aphrodisia Bookshop on High Street, Windsor.

Looks like they went out of business.

Distracted by the bookshop, Mr Bromley (Arthur Lowe) runs into the back of another car. Arguing with the driver (Michael Robbins) on High Street near the junction with Church Lane, Windsor.

The building with the red doors next to the Market stood in as a theatre in 'Tunes of Glory'.

No need for a traffic warden now - new gates.

The traffic warden confronts car driver Bertha Hunter (Beryl Reid) at the side entrance to living quarters above the bank.

The same doorway on Peascod Street, Windsor.

Bertha persuades the traffic warden to move her car . . . . time for revenge at Windsor Old Fire Station, St Leonards Road, Windsor, Berkshire.

No fire engines now - it's a bar. And a welcome break was had there whilst taking these pictures.

After a delivery of pornography is delivered to the bank by mistake, Brian attempts to bury the evidence. This is the gardens of Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire. Also seen in 'Carry On Henry'.

The same location now. Image copyright Google Streetview.

Some of the contents of the delivery end up in the river. On the Thames with the Queen Elizabeth Bridge in the background. Windsor.

Outside the bank looking towards the Guildhall on High Street, Windsor.

Someone moved the litter bin.

Brian disguises himself before attempting, once more, to get rid of the offending package. Outside the bank's Thames Street entrance.

No door now - just a 'hole in the wall'.

Brian runs along High Street, Windsor.

The same location now.

The police approach on High Street, Windsor.

The railings under the wall are still there behind the gent waiting for a bus.

Cue the car chase - Brian, with Daphne riding pillion, has just turned into William Street from Peascod Street, Windsor where The Prince of Wales public house can be seen in the right background. The junction features in ‘Tunes of Glory’, ‘On the Beat’ and 'The Ballad of Tam Lin'.

The same junction now.

The car chase passes a Rag & Bone Man (Sydney Bromley). William Street, Windsor.

Virtually the whole street has been rebuilt except for the low building with the white fascia directly above the actors head.

The chase continues towards the river.

Barry Avenue, Windsor.

Brian and Daphne take to the riverside pathway. Barry Avenue, Windsor.

The boat is on the water not the grass. The verge has either disappeared or I got the wrong place! - but it was starting to rain so . . . .

Slapstick time as a row of anglers are knocked into the water.

Barry Avenue with the Slough to Windsor line railway bridge in the background.

Back onto the roadway. Barry Avenue, Windsor.

The kiosk and tree are still there.

High Street, Eton, Berkshire with Eton College Memorial Hall in the centre background.

A slight change of location but the chase goes on.

High Street, Eton.

Oops, dead end. Margam Road, Eton heading for the closed Windsor Bridge over the Thames.

Somebody in the town planning department must really have it in for the people of Eton.

Nice bit of scaffolding.

Just along from the Two Brewers Pub which has, oddly, never appeared in any film shot along this street.

Everyone, including Aphrodisia bookshop owner Pete (John Bindon), approaches to take the package from Brian.

Park Street once again.
