19th century
Torchwood India was founded by Queen Victoria to find alien technology in the British Raj. It was run by Eleanor, Duchess of Melrose and maintained a cover as a gentlemen's club, the Royal Connaught Club. It was closed down by Jack Harkness in 1924, when Torchwood realised the Raj was coming to an end, and all their alien equipment was taken to Britain. (BBCR: Golden Age)

21st century
In 2009 Torchwood Three in Wales the one of two Torchwood Branches in the UK that traced alien energy field to the site of Torchwood India, and they discovered Eleanor and the other Torchwood India agents where using a time store to prevent time passing in the Royal Connaught Club. The store was powered by taking people's potential futures, killing them. Torchwood Three prevented the Duchess's plan to turn the whole planet back to 1924, resulting in the time store overloading. The club members refused to leave the building and therefore it was frozen in time. (BBCR: Golden Age)
