William Alexander Camkin (1894 – 26 April 1956[1]) was an English billiard hall owner who came to prominence in the early years of the World Snooker Championship, when many of the tournament's matches were held at his clubs.
This hall was used for a number of World Snooker Championship matches from 1927 to 1930, including the 1927 and 1928 finals.
Team manager George Liddell had resigned on the outbreak of war, and Camkin, together with trainer George Blackburn, oversaw team affairs until November 1944, when Ted Goodier took over as caretaker manager.
