South Ockendon
South Ockendon is a village and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough and unitary district in Essex in the East of England, UK. It is located on the boundary with Greater London, simply outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon village ended up being a location for premade homes (prefabs) accommodating bombed-out citizens of East London/West Essex in the extremely late 40s. Much of the original post-war building was embarked on by previous German prisoners of war. The majority of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a large Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building residences-- the Flowers' Estate-- was constructed to replace them, again with pre-fabricated houses, albeit of an exceptional design. The Lecaplan Kind B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is constructed in rows of eight residential or commercial properties to a design by J C Tilley and made by W. & C. French.

The plant was wound down slowly from the late 90's however closed totally in 2004, when the last 150 jobs were shed. The majority of the 150 workers approved transfers to other Ford or ancillary websites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was situated along and also west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually currently been turned into new housing estates, with street names after popular Ford vehicles in maintaining with the websites history.
