South Ockendon
South Ockendon is a village and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough and unitary area in Essex in the East of England, UK. It is located on the border with Greater London, just outside the M25 motorway. The area to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon town became an area for prefabricated houses (prefabs) accommodating bombed-out citizens of East London/West Essex in the extremely late 40s. Much of the original post-war building was carried out by previous German prisoners of war. Most 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 developed to change them, once again with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of a remarkable style. The Lecaplan Kind B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) terrace is created in rows of 8 residential or commercial properties to a style by J C Tilley and also made by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which constructed cars such as the RS1600. The plant was unwinded progressively from the late 90's yet shut entirely in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were shed. The majority of the 150 employees accepted transfers to other Ford or supplementary websites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was positioned along and west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually now been turned into new housing estates, with street names after well-known Ford vehicles in maintaining with the sites background.
