South Ockendon is a town and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock district as well as unitary area in Essex in the East of England, UK. It lies on the boundary with Greater London, just outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon village ended up being a location for premade homes (prefabs) accommodating bombed-out homeowners of East London/West Essex in the very late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building was undertaken by former German prisoners of war. Most of these were knocked down in the late-1960s when a big Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan “concrete” building and construction homes– the Flowers’ Estate– was constructed to replace them, again with pre-fabricated houses, albeit of a remarkable design. The Lecaplan Type B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is built in rows of 8 residential or commercial properties to a design by J C Tilley and also produced by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford’s Advanced Vehicle Operations which built cars and trucks such as the RS1600. The plant was unwinded slowly from the late 90’s yet closed totally in 2004, when the last 150 tasks were shed. The majority of the 150 workers accepted transfers to various other Ford or supplementary sites around Essex. The ‘Aveley’ plant was situated along and west of the train line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has currently been developed into new housing estates, with road names after well-known Ford automobiles in maintaining with the sites history.
