 Subject:  Re: Ford DagenhamList thread.

As both my parents worked at Ford's Dagenham plant during the war, I can assure you that it was bombed, though not as extensively as the docks nearer London.

Some pictures of some damage here,

The current plant is something of a shadow of it's former self, though the camouflage survived on the roof of the older buildings till the seventies.
