When writing in his 1893-published book, 'Historical Notes on Cullercoats Whitley and Monkseaton', William Weaver Tomlinson said that in 1827, "the village supported three inns-the Black Horse, Three Horse Shoes and the Ship". The original Black Horse Inn was built in 1793 as a two-storey stone building, with a third floor being added later. In 1936 permission was granted for the building to demolished and replaced by the current building.
