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[edit]Advertised public passenger services were withdrawn in 1919 but workmen's trains continued until 1958.[2]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