Overslade is a residential area in the central south part of the town of Rugby, Warwickshire. The area was developed for housing in the 20th century, mostly between the 1930s and late-1950s. It was historically within the parish of Bilton.The local council built a large number of prefabricated steel-clad BISF houses in Overslade in the late-1940s to solve a local housing shortage after World War II, which led to the area gaining the nickname of 'tin town', although most of these houses have been refurbished in recent years, with their steel cladding removed or covered. A common misconception exists that these houses were meant to be temporary, however they were in fact designed to have the same lifespan as conventional constructions.The local secondary school is Harris Church of England Academy.
