Hunnington is in the Bromsgrove District of Worcestershire, close to the border with West Midlands, and just south of Halesowen.
It was originally a township in the parish of Halesowen, a detached part of Shropshire, and was transferred to the jurisdiction of Worcestershire in 1844.
It became a parish in its own right in the 19th century, and became part of the Bromsgrove Rural District in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894, and then of Bromsgrove District under the Local Government Act 1972 from 1974.
Hunnington was formerly on the Halesowen branch railway line but services were withdrawn in 1960 and the line was dismantled in 1964.
On the village sign you can see Dowery Dell cast iron railway viaduct that carried the Halesowen to Longbridge railway.
Also in the village was the Blue Bird Toffee factory, founded in Worcestershire in 1898 by Harry Vincent.
Vincent had similar ideas to Cadbury and the Frys with regards to the workplace being a pleasant environment to work.
Vincent's toffee was originally called Harvino, but after watching Maeterlink's play 'The Blue Bird of Happiness' he renamed the product Blue Bird. Bluebird Toffee left their West Midlands site in October 1998.
The company's collection of historic Blue Bird packaging can be seen at the Black Country Living Museum.

If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you let Smokeypugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
