Much of the initial post-war building was carried out by previous German prisoners of war. The majority of these were destroyed in the late-1960s when a huge Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building and construction houses-- the Flowers' Estate-- was developed to replace them, once again with pre-fabricated homes, albeit of an exceptional style. The Lecaplan Kind B kind of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) terrace is created in rows of 8 buildings to a layout by J C Tilley and also manufactured by W. & C. French.

The 'Aveley' plant was located along and west of the railway line, beside Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has now been become brand-new real estate estates, with street names after well-known Ford vehicles in keeping with the sites history.
