It is located on the border with Greater London, simply outside the M25 motorway. The area to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon town ended up being a place for premade residences (prefabs) suiting bombed-out citizens of East London/West Essex in the very late 40s. Much of the original post-war construction was taken on by former German prisoners of war. The majority of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a big Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building and construction residences-- the Flowers' Estate-- was constructed to replace them, one more time with pre-fabricated residences, albeit of an exceptional design. The Lecaplan Type B type of pre-cast concrete (large panel concrete) balcony is created in rows of 8 homes to a design by J C Tilley and produced by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which built autos such as the RS1600. The plant was wound down gradually from the late 90's however shut entirely in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were shed. The majority of the 150 employees accepted transfers to various other Ford or ancillary sites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was situated along and west of the train line, beside Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has currently been developed into brand-new housing estates, with road names after renowned Ford lorries in keeping with the sites background.
