The photographs, taken from the movie, came from this site: (

That website also gives an excellent precis of the film:
"Film comedy set in post war London, where the discovery of an ancient document in a bomb crater proves that part of London is in fact part of Burgundy. For the new 'Burgundians' this means an end to rationing! The British government however, sees thing slightly differently!"
And goes on to list the cast that appear in the location scenes:
"Michael Horndean, Stanley Holloway, Margaret Rutherford, Basil Radford, Naunton Wayne, Hermione Baddeley, John Slater, Raymond Huntley and Sidney Tafler".
The bridge can be easily recognised by the cap at the left hand end and the pattern running up the middle of the support in the centre of the road. The side of the bridge, made from iron, is also recognisable.
