The Society of Friends or 'Quaker' burial ground at the north end of John Street in Cullercoats was in use from 1661 to 1818 and enclosed by a high wall in 1819. It was was removed in 1872 when John Street was extended to join Whitley Lane (now Road). The remains of the Cullercoats Friends and their headstones were transferred to the south side of Preston Cemetery in North Shields and an explanatory plaque erected.
