South Ockendon is a small town and Church of England parish in the Thurrock district and unitary area in Essex in the East of England, United Kingdom. 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 ended up being an area for premade houses (prefabs) accommodating bombed-out citizens of East London/West Essex in the really late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building was carried out by previous German prisoners of war. Most of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a large Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan “concrete” construction houses– the Flowers’ Estate– was constructed to change them, once again with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of a remarkable style. The Lecaplan Type B kind of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is constructed in rows of 8 homes to a style by J C Tilley and also manufactured by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford’s Advanced Vehicle Operations which built vehicles such as the RS1600. The plant was unwinded gradually from the late 90’s yet shut entirely in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were shed. Most of the 150 workers accepted transfers to various other Ford or supplementary websites around Essex. The ‘Aveley’ plant was situated along and west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually currently been developed into brand-new housing estates, with road names after popular Ford cars in keeping with the websites background.
