On his death, all of his historical records were donated to Crich Tramway Museum and the Sheffield University archives. These comprise thousands of postcards, documents and photographs which he had taken of various traction engines, fairground etc.

Apart from his collection, he also co-authored several historical books with other prominent writers, LTC Rolt (Tom Rolt), OS Nock etc. He gathered the historical facts from his large personal library, and authors then used this information to compile their books. Very often, he shied away from publicity, though his name is often mentioned in the forewords of these books as a contributor.

One of his greatest achievement was the saving of the Lion locomotive from the Liverpool Docks & Harbour Board workshops where it was languishing in disrepair. Mainly due to his drumming up interest in this piece of history, the Liverpool Transport Museum came about, where Lion was renovated and placed on display

Skeleton on a Moor
Missing Halifax Man's Body Found After Two Years.

By means of clothing which partially covered a skeleton found in a shallow drain on Cock Moor, midway between Hebden Bridge and Haworth, it was definitely established yesterday that the body was that of Frank Fielding, baker and bread hawker, aged about 56, of 20 Range Bank, Halifax, who had been missing for two years.

On 4th November 1929, he paid a visit to some relatives at Hebden Bridge, and, late the same afternoon, he was seen passing through Pecket Well, on the fringe of the moor.

He was not seen again, and a search of the district proved futile.

The remains were found by a farmer who went on to the swampy moor to open a land drain. It is presumed that Fielding, in taking a short cut across the moor, stumbled into the drain and was drowned or died from exposure
