Arthur "Archie" Hill (3 May 1928 – 1986) was a writer, broadcaster and photographer who came from the English Black Country, a region which provided the central theme for his work.
His writing included acclaimed autobiographical books as well novels, radio plays, television scripts and journalism.
The pinnacle of his broadcasting career was a four-part 1974 BBC TV series called Archie Hill Comes Home. He was described by writer Michael Pearson as "…hugely talented … very rough Black Country with a lived-in face.
An alcoholic with suicidal tendencies, he was said to be programmed to self-destruct, but always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye."He died by suicide in 1986.
