Apparently Einstein developed the idea for nuclear weapons whilst shacked up in Cromer

In 1933 the world's most famous scientist was taken into hiding on an isolated heath in Cromer. The mathematician and physicist, Albert Einstein stayed in a cottage at Roughton in Norfolk during the 1930s, after he left Germany when Hitler came to power.

Einstein was strongly opposed to war, but after Hitler was elected to government, it was impossible for him to stay in Germany.

Something had to be done to help the world's cleverest man.

Einstein was brought to live in a small hut on Roughton Heath in Cromer.

While he was there, the scientist was still able to work on his scientific theories. The science he was working on changed the course of history - he had developed the idea for the world's first nuclear bomb.

Einstein left Norfolk and sailed to America, never to return to Europe.

Einstein developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
