Yep, it's right next to the Red Duster.
I remember it well. It's seen some interesting times.
We moved into Whiteleas in 1959, and the Duster wasn't built, nor the shops on Whiteleas Way. Sutherland Court came many years after.
My dad used to watch from our house, half way up Gainsborough Avenue, for the bus coming up Whiteleas Way past where the Duster is now before he'd run to the stop to catch it to go to work. Buses don't run both ways on Gainsborough now.
I remember a kid getting knocked down on the corner of Gainsborough and Whiteleas Way, and the ambulance and police were called from that police box. Most people didn't have their own phones - only rich and posh folk!! Many's the time we were chased by cops or adults for messing about with it, or even just hanging around it!!!
