South Ockendon
South Ockendon is a small town as well as Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough and also unitary area in Essex in the East of England, United Kingdom. It lies on the boundary with Greater London, simply outside the M25 motorway. The area to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon town became an area for premade homes (prefabs) fitting bombed-out residents of East London/West Essex in the very late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building and construction was taken on by former German prisoners of war. The majority of these were demolished 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 dwellings, albeit of a remarkable design. The Lecaplan Kind B kind of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is created in rows of 8 residential properties 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 built cars such as the RS1600. The plant was unwinded progressively from the late 90's yet closed completely in 2004, when the last 150 jobs were lost. Most of the 150 employees approved transfers to other Ford or secondary sites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was located along and west of the train line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually currently been developed into brand-new real estate estates, with street names after well-known Ford cars in keeping with the websites background.
