Notes 1 We are not told precisely when the New Row was made, but it was one of the first projects undertaken by the Hobbits as they worked to undo the ruin of the Shire by Sharkey and his people. Sharkey was defeated on 3 November III 3019 (or 1419 by the Shire-reckoning). It may be, therefore, that New Row was created before the end of that year, but the fact that the Hobbit-holes on the row had notable gardens implies that the work was probably completed in the following spring (that is, in early III 3020 or S.R. 1420). 2 We know that Sam Gamgee's father Hamfast was resettled at Number Three, New Row (having previously lived on Bagshot Row before its demolition). Based on this, it seems likely the other former residents were also given Hobbit-holes on New Row and, if so, members of the Twofoot family would have been among these. See also...
