The need for manufacturing in London becomes pressing, this is why, with the turning of the century, A. Frankau & Co has a broad warehouse and offices to the 121 Queen Victoria Street, a service of export in Upper Thames Street and opens a factory in 1898 in Homerton, High Street 112 (then 154) until in the Eighties when Cadogan gathers its activities of manufacture in Southend one Sea. | [[File:BBBs Mark Achtman1.jpg|thumb|A nice collection of BBBs, courtesy Mark Achtman]][[File:BBBs Mark Achtman2.jpg|thumb|A nice collection of BBBs, courtesy Mark Achtman]]The need for manufacturing in London becomes pressing, this is why, with the turning of the century, A.

In this time, A Frankau & Co also produce of Calabashs. The water-bottles used are originating in South Africa and are fruits which can be used as pipe (called also gourd, in this case) usable for the pipes. That became difficult to be supplied out of water-bottles considering the growing request and the constant attention which it is necessary to carry to the culture. BBB sets up a special department to manufacture the calabashs, using only scum to make the furnace whereas some their competitors use plaster of Paris and even of asbestos (asbestos). The manufacture of the calabashs survived war 14/18, but this conflict destroyed the request. | In this time, A Frankau & Co also produce of Calabashs.
