Hi guys,

We’ve put together this intriguing insight into the historic Ford factory in Dagenham, check this link out and watch the Dagenham Dreams video!


Let us know what you think!

Kind regards,
Dan.

 

Looks brilliantly directed and produced!

Really REALLY good.

Is there going to be a feature length as such for it?

 

although many of the dagenham workers at ford hated the job, once the plant went all you hear from those that worked there was they missed it , as ford created dagenham the town really, was very lucky to visit the plant in my teens when I was a young fresh ford employee and was left speechless at the size of it

 

Looks cool

Me and my dad did repairs of the big cylinders at the ford plant a few years back. Watching teams of blokes ragging 'brand new' focus ST's off the boats!

 

Not much left of the place now, thet are looking to put a new train station and 3000+ houses on what was the car storage sites, Rainham end of where Fords was.


My Dad did 20+ years there, grandparents came over from Ireland to Dagenham due to the work at Fords, along with alot of their family at the time.


Was all I wanted to do really, leave school at 16 and get an apprentiship there, fortunatly didn't get in, and got a job @ 16 on the railway, which I still have almost 19 years later now! Wouldn't still be working at Fords had I got the grades and got in!
