Turning the water off

Hi. I have a low pressure cold water system so all the taps less the kitchen sink and the outside tap are fed from the cold water tank. I've turned the water off at the main and in the airing cupboard as I need to replace the shower mixer unit; all of the sink taps are open and no water is coming out of the hot or cold - but the cold feed to the shower is running a a steady dribble. The dribble appears constant, not just a bit of water running out of the system. Any ideas gratefully received.

If this dribble is how it usually is then I would suggest that it is being fed from somewhere else, if it's not and it's slowed to this after turning the water off then maybe it is the first outlet from the water tank itself and it is just finishing up what it has in the tank. Possibly?
