It was opened on 6 March 1893 by the Marquis of Salisbury, originally as Custom House station, due to its nearby location to Custom House, Liverpool,[1] which was heavily bombed during The Blitz. After Customs moved to a new building the station was renamed Canning in 1947, so as not to confuse passengers.[2] Providing access to Custom House and a number of other busy work locations, Canning was one of the busiest stations on the railway.[3]
The station closed, along with the rest of the line on 30 December 1956. No evidence of this station remains.
