Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Group on behalf of Countryside Properties (UK) Limited to carry out built heritage recording at the former Ford Assembly Plant site (Beam Park Riverside) in the London Boroughs of Havering/Barking and Dagenham. The Historic England Level 1-2 recording was focused upon redundant buildings and structures that survive within the Site (centred on OS NGR TQ 50021 82962). The Site presently comprises predominately hard standing associated with the slab of the former (demolished 2004) Ford Paint Trim Assembly (PTA) factory. The upstanding buildings and structures appear to have survived because of their continued use. Three accommodation bridges still provide access across the River Beam. Most of the other remaining structures were built during the initial development of the PTA site during the 1950s and are associated with utilities. The acquisition of Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd by Ford-Britain led to a number of significant changes at Dagenham and in 1954 an ambitious expansion and modernisation programme was launched, which included the layout, design and construction of a new PTA plant on a former Ford sports ground. The majority of the recorded buildings and structures were built to service this new plant. The Fire Station accommodated the mobile appliances used by the Fire Protection Department of the Ford Motor Company, while the adjoining Oil Store supplied various grades of oil to the new main assembly building. A 1950s storm water pump house and sewage pump house prevented the site from flooding.
