Lightning once cracked against the stone of Newark Abbey while students in nearby halls penned lines that would change a city. It’s easy to miss Newark’s hidden drama—but its streets thunder with untold stories.

This is your self-guided audio tour, a backstage pass to Newark’s shadowy corners and bright stages. Step through legendary schools and sacred walls, uncovering secrets that most visitors leave undiscovered on the sidewalk.

What riot erupted in the heart of Science Park High School, shaping education forever? Which forbidden artwork forced a radical conversation at Newark Arts High? Why did a procession of monks once vanish from public view without a trace?

Wander from ancient abbey stones to vibrant school corridors. Listen as political battles echo beside whispered legends and forgotten rebellions. Each stop reveals a new layer and a new way to see the city’s living heartbeat.

Newark’s secrets are waiting. Begin the hidden story now.
