ADDITIONAL LAND AT MEADOWHALL


The British Land Company PLC has purchased five freehold sites, in all 43.7
acres, adjacent to the Meadowhall Shopping Centre.  The vendor was Stadium
Limited and the consideration was £13.75 million.

This purchase is made as an early exercise of all the options that British Land
acquired in the original contract to purchase the Meadowhall complex and this
consolidates British Land's ownership and control of the surrounding land to
Meadowhall.  The land is currently used for overflow car parking during peak
periods and will continue to be used for this purpose, pending assessment of
development opportunities.

Part of the consideration is payable by way of sponsorship by British Land of
the Sheffield Sports Arena project, up to a maximum of £2.5 million.

The total land area is 107 acres including the shopping centre, which is 1.42
million square feet.
