Hunnington railway station was a railway station in the village of Hunnington, near Halesowen, England, on the Great Western Railway & Midland Railway's Joint Halesowen Railway line from Old Hill to Longbridge.

Structure

[edit]

The station had only a single platform but had its own sidings, which served the now closed Blue Bird Toffee factory.[1]

History

[edit]

Advertised public passenger services were withdrawn in 1919 but workmen's trains continued until 1958.[2]

Present day

[edit]

Unlike most of the other former stations and infrastructure of the Halesowen Railway, Hunnington station building still remains as a private residence.[3]
