on/at the corner

Do these all work?
1-1. There used to be a police box IN the corner.
1-2. There used to be a police box AT the corner.
1-3. There used to be a police box ON the corner.
2-1. Turn left IN the next corner.
2-2. Turn left AT the next corner.
2-3. Turn left ON the next corner.
Also, is there any US/UK difference?
Thank you.

Same for AmE, although I, personally, am fairly indifferent to the police box being at or on the corner.
