So it’s a shrine to a fictional character? The mind boggles

Torchwood was fun but it was also a fair while ago
Could always do a small Torchwood museum/shop (in Cardiff) to mirror the Who one in London

Clean it up – but leave it there, it’s accumulations of quirks like this make cities fun and interesting and unique.
It makes some people explore more, finding other stuff along the way.

I appreciate some people might find stuff like this an affectation – and if there are legit aesthetic & safety issues, then by all means clean it up. But queer/alternative fandom networks are (for better or worse) objectively a big driver behind a lot of the last 20-odd years of English-language cultural production, and I feel like the Ianto mourning phenomenon is worth memorialising in some way.

Even as someone who did enjoy Torchwood – it is incredible that this lasted as long as it did. Hopefully they’ll find something to replace it – it definitely looks like the metalwork there is in very bad shape.
