The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B, The Tale of Years: The Third Age
Bard had rebuilt the town in Dale and men had gathered to him from the Lake and from South and West, and all the valley had become tilled again and rich, and the desolation was now filled with birds and blossoms in spring and fruit and feasting in autumn.
The Hobbit, Ch 19, The Last Stage
Glóin began then to talk of the works of his people, telling Frodo about their great labours in Dale and under the Mountain.... 'Only in mining and building have we surpassed the old days. You should see the waterways of Dale, Frodo, and the fountains, and the pools! You should see the stone-paved roads of many colours!.... Then you would see that we have not been idle.'
'I will come and see them, if ever I can,' said Frodo. 'How surprised Bilbo would have been to see all the changes in the Desolation of Smaug!'
