Dagenham is a place in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.


Dagenham is the home of an assembly plant owned by the Ford Motor Company. The plant was built in 1931 for the purpose of producing Ford cars, however on February 20, 2002, this was discontinued due to the expense of manual labour in the United Kingdom, and the factory was downsized to produce engines and gearboxes.


Famous Dagenham natives include England's World Cup winning football coach Sir Alf Ramsay, singer Sandie Shaw and actor Dudley Moore.
