South Ockendon
South Ockendon is a small town and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough and also unitary district in Essex in the East of England, UK. It lies on the border with Greater London, just outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon village became a location for prefabricated houses (prefabs) suiting bombed-out locals of East London/West Essex in the really late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building and construction was embarked on by former German prisoners of war. Most of these were knocked down in the late-1960s when a huge Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" construction houses-- the Flowers' Estate-- was constructed to change them, again with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of a premium layout. The Lecaplan Type B form of pre-cast concrete (large panel concrete) terrace is constructed in rows of 8 buildings to a layout by J C Tilley as well as made by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which developed cars and trucks such as the RS1600. The plant was relaxed slowly from the late 90's yet shut totally in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were shed. Most of the 150 employees accepted transfers to various other Ford or secondary sites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was located along and also west of the train line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has now been turned into brand-new real estate estates, with road names after popular Ford vehicles in keeping with the websites history.
