On the boardwalk of Cardiff Bay’s Mermaid Quay you’ll find a memorial to a man who never existed.
Ianto Jones was a supporting character on Torchwood, a spinoff of the popular BBC series Doctor Who. Set in Cardiff, the team’s headquarters, Torchwood Three, was located below Roald Dahl Plass, accessible through a secret entrance by its Water Tower and a “Tourist Office” entrance along the boardwalk.
