Canning railway station was on the Liverpool Overhead Railway.
It was opened on 6 March 1893 by the Marquis of Salisbury, originally as Custom House, due to its nearby location to Custom House, Liverpool, which was heavily bombed during The Blitz. It was renamed Canning in 1947, so as not to confuse passengers.
The station closed, along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956, due to the colossal cost for replacing the corroded decking, which could not be funded by the LOR company. No evidence of this station remains.
