Get South Ockendon Pro’s

South Ockendon is a town as well as Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough as well as unitary district 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 village came to be an area for prefabricated homes (prefabs) fitting bombed-out residents of East London/West Essex in the really late 40s. Much of the initial post-war building was taken on by previous German prisoners of war. Most of these were knocked down in the late-1960s when a big Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan “concrete” building houses– the Flowers’ Estate– was constructed to change them, again with pre-fabricated dwellings, albeit of a superior design. The Lecaplan Kind B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is created in rows of 8 homes to a design by J C Tilley as well as manufactured 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 wound down 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 ancillary websites around Essex. The ‘Aveley’ plant was located along and west of the train line, beside Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually currently been developed into brand-new housing estates, with street names after well-known Ford lorries in keeping with the sites background.
