The shop you're thinking of is possibly Loscoe Post Office at the junction of Loscoe Denby Lane and High Street, but this has steps up, not down. Give us another clue ! [/quote]

Sue,
Reading your last response, and working from your description of the pond, I think the pit you're thinking of is Ormonde Colliery, situated adjacent to Loscoe Dam.
