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. This closed in September 1970, and the site has been opencasted. I remember accompanying my father to draw his last pay packet from the Pay Office. 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 !
