In his 1893-book, 'Historical Notes on Cullercoats Whitley and Monkseaton', William Weaver Tomlinson wrote that, "in 1827 the village supported three inns-the Black Horse, Three Horse Shoes and the Ship". An earlier inn, the Seven Stars, which was still in use in 1814, was by then no longer open. The original Ship Inn, which according to the date stone on the façade of the current building was built in 1688, was situated at what is now the entrance to Lyndhurst Road.
