If you click, go back and click again (as in getting the jurors lists) the page from the gov gazette of 1st Feb 1935 appears .Patricia

Re: Unnamed Street
As I understand with the relocation of the Kuhlan Monument (where the demolished Wanchai Market once stood) in 1934, there existed an unnamed patch of land/street that joined up with Wanchai Road from QRE.
I reckon the closure of the area was required for the site formation and building of the 'new' Wanchai Market.

Re: Unnamed Street
I agree with Moddsey. Here are a few pieces of supporting information...
The gazette says the unamed road was "on the south-west side of Inland Lot No. 86 joining Wanchai Road and Queen's Road East."
We've seen IL 86 before:
It's the lot that housed the Royal Naval Hospital, ie Hospital Hill. On it's south-west corner used to be a short stretch of road between the hill and the Kuhlan monument, visible in this map.
As Moddsey notes, that disappeared when the second-generation Wanchai Market was built:
