The new Drama Village complex in Cardiff, which will be the eventual home of Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures has been given a name Porth Teigr.
A statement is below.
We wanted to brand the development with a name which reflects both the history of the Cardiff Bay area and its fantastic waterside location.We did think about Tiger Bay. However, it was never a geographical ward in the city, but was more about the spirit of the place which people often refer to.
We also didn’t want to be accused of misappropriating the name. There are also places around the world in port areas which are also called Tiger Bay.
We are seeing increased numbers of inquiries from companies interested in locating their business close to the BBC drama production studios and are confident that Porth Teigr will, over time, become an internationally recognised mixed-use location, attracting new jobs and investment into Wales.
