South Ockendon
South Ockendon is a town and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock district as well as unitary district in Essex in the East of England, UK. It is located on the boundary with Greater London, just outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon town became an area for premade residences (prefabs) fitting bombed-out locals of East London/West Essex in the extremely late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building and construction was undertaken by previous German prisoners of war. The majority of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a huge Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building and construction residences-- the Flowers' Estate-- was constructed to change them, again with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of an exceptional design. The Lecaplan Type B type of pre-cast concrete (huge panel concrete) terrace is created in rows of eight properties to a design by J C Tilley as well as manufactured by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which built automobiles such as the RS1600. The plant was relaxed progressively from the late 90's but shut entirely in 2004, when the last 150 jobs were shed. The majority of the 150 employees accepted transfers to various other Ford or secondary websites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was located along and also west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has currently been developed into new housing estates, with road names after renowned Ford automobiles in maintaining with the sites history.
