Iantos’ back entrance…no pun intended lol
Taken by me, Cardiff bay roald dahl plass Aug 28th 2009

Tourist information and café Ianto :)….The entrance to the Torchwood hub as seen in the BBC’s Torchwood.

Now turned into a shrine, for Ianto, following his death in Torchwood Children of Earth.

When I got there it was surrounded by people, I had to wait for them to go. I was surprised at how many people didn’t know who ianto was or why it was there….people saying “who was he”, one boy pointed to a picture of Ianto and Gwen and asked his mother, “is that his girlfriend”. I think most people thought ianto was a real guy that had died or the actor who plays him was dead.

I've seen recent pictures and it is literally dripping with things! I love that it's a real place :) and like the water tower I think it's cool you can put the show with an actual place :D

it's lovely to see so many people caring for him (even if he is a fictional character :)

They cleaned it up, when I was there, there was a load more there! And some of the locals were like - what is all this?

yeah, they still are like, what's happened. A printed sign has now been put up since this photo was taken saying why the shrine is there and who ianto was....i think fans got fed up of the people thinking someone had died in a boating accident or something lol.
