When the first edition of the Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1865 there were four public houses in the small village of Cullercoats: Queen's Head, Newcastle Arms and two Ship Inns. It is common in historic villages for there to be a few buildings that appear more important than the others due to their size or location. In Cullercoats there are several buildings with prominence including the Queens Head, the Watch House and the RNLI Lifeboat House. The Queen's Head has recently undergone a colourful exterior makeover.
