Duddell Street () is a small street located near the Lan Kwai Fong district in Central, Hong Kong. Named after George and Frederick Duddell, it stretches from Ice House Street to Queen's Road Central. The street is noted for containing the city's last four gas lamps. ==History== This short street includes, at its southern end, a flight of granite steps that were built between 1875 and 1889;〔(Central and Western Heritage Trail - Duddell Street Steps and Gas Lamps )〕 these lead up to Ice House Street. The street was named in honour of brothers George and Frederick Duddell. Both were landowners in the early days of the colony, having emigrated from Macau after the 1841 annexation of Hong Kong. George was an auctioneer and ultimately a significant property owner in the area around the present Duddell Street in the mid-19th century. When Frederick and his wife died, they were both buried back in Macau at the Old Protestant Cemetery.〔
