Canning (also known as the Georgian Quarter) is an area on the eastern edge of Liverpool city centre, England, characterised by almost entirely residential Georgian architecture. Parts of the district are included in Liverpool's Knowledge Quarter. It borders the rest of the Knowledge Quarter to the north, the district of Toxteth to the south, Edge Hill to the east and Ropewalks, Chinatown and the Baltic Triangle to the west. The area takes its name from one of its principal thoroughfares, Canning Street, which is named after George Canning, (1770–1827), a British politician who served as Foreign Secretary and, briefly, Prime Minister.[1][2]
