Cullercoats History (748 words)
A map of 1685 says of Cullercoats "a pier that lyeth a mile or more from Tinmouth Castle to the northward and is a pier where vessels enter at high water to load coals and be dry at low water.
Cullercoats became a separate township, being so populous as to be made a distinct constabulary of it self.
In the early 18th century Cullercoats was at the height of its prosperity as a port but in 1710 the demolition of the pier by a severe storm marked the beginning of its decline.
