The Bay Hotel Cullercoats

The Bay Hotel was opened in 1870 as the Hudlestone Arms on the site of an older building, the Ship Inn. It had been renamed The Bay Hotel by 1893.

The original Ship Inn was a three storey white building. In 1868 a newspaper announced that Bartleman & Crighton were to pull it down at the end of the season, to make way for a family hotel. The Hudleston Arms, designed by Thomas Oliver, opened on the site in the spring of 1870. It took its name from a family which then owned much of the village. From the winter of 1891 architects Oliver & Leeson laid a series of plans to alter the building. After considerable enlargement it was renamed the Bay Hotel.

The Bay Hotel was demolished in May 2005, to make way for a luxury block of flats named Winslow Court.
