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, 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 village became an area for premade houses (prefabs) fitting bombed-out locals of East London/West Essex in the really late 40s. Much of the original post-war building and construction was embarked on by previous German prisoners of war. The majority of these were knocked down in the late-1960s when a huge Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building homes-- the Flowers' Estate-- was built to change them, one more time with pre-fabricated houses, albeit of an exceptional style. The Lecaplan Kind B kind of pre-cast concrete (large panel concrete) balcony is constructed in rows of 8 homes to a design by J C Tilley as well as produced by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which developed cars and trucks such as the RS1600. The plant was wound down slowly from the late 90's however shut totally in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were lost. The majority of the 150 workers accepted transfers to other Ford or supplementary sites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was situated along and also west of the train line, beside Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has currently been turned into brand-new housing estates, with street names after popular Ford lorries in keeping with the websites background.
