Mytton (Mitton) is at Whalley near Blackburn, and signifies "Mid-town", being situated between the rivers Hodder and Ribble. "Though very rare this trial state [Da] is never good being very badly printed in light brown ink and dirty in appearance. Mytton Hall is an old Henry VIl house which Mr. Haden was in the habit of staying at for the purpose of his Salmon Fishing in the river Ribble (the "Lancashire River") which runs past it". The print is compositionally related to a watercolor sketch in AK; however, the sketch may show the opposite view of the tree-lined alley-from the house rather than towards it.
