A fascinating letter by Albert Einstein revealing how he was enjoying the 'enviable solitude' of Norfolk while in hiding from the Nazis has emerged 92 years on.

The genius mathematician first fled to Belgium after Adolf Hitler came to power and Jewish people began to be targeted.

Although he had police protection, Einstein was still deemed under threat there, so he travelled by boat to Dover and was then driven to the Norfolk coast.

His alien new surroundings as a guest of Conservative MP Oliver Locker-Lampson consisted of a tiny 9m sq hut consisting of a single room.

But despite the lack of luxury in the cabin on Roughton Heath, near Cromer, Einstein informed son Eduard that he was enjoying his new surroundings and was spending most of the time doing maths.
