By the late nineteenth century, charges imposed on Manchester companies for the use of Liverpool's docks and the connecting railway had created an atmosphere of resentment within the business community. The Manchester Ship Canal was to play a major part in the city's regeneration following the depression of the 1870s, but it took a lengthy battle for the scheme to gain the backing of Parliament and for construction to begin in 1887. In this two-volume work of 1907, Sir Bosdin Leech (1836-1912) traces the canal's conception, planning and construction. Volume 2 begins with the project's backers having finally raised the capital necessary to begin construction. The difficult process of building the canal is then detailed. The work includes a large amount of illustrative content, enhancing the light shed on the landscape and notable personalities of Manchester at that time.

Repérer le génie du lieu pour mieux opérer sa transformation, le faire muter de l'ère industrielle à celle de l'enseignement, de la culture ou du logement, révéler ses potentiels, plutôt que le reconvertir en force à un usage nouveau, telle est la démarche de l'atelier Canal. Celui qui, par différents chemins, permet le franchissement d'un temps à l'autre, d'un lieu à l'autre, d'un usage à l'autre, est un passeur, au sens étymologique. Architecte, architecte de l'intérieur, enseignant, aimant les lieux pour les histoires qu'ils évoquent et les potentiels d'avenir qu'ils portent, Patrick Rubin est un passeur aux itinéraires pluriels.
