A large (280 pc diameter) H I shell has been found in the Perseus spiral arm of our Galaxy. Three old supernova remnants are associated with the shell. These are the first supernova remnants directly linked to large H I shells. All three of these supernova remnants are located within the H I shell, at least two of them are near its edge. This suggests that these supernovae are actively engaged in enlarging the H I shell, which was presumably "blown" to its present dimensions by several previous supernova remnants and/or the sustained action of interior stars with substantial stellar winds.
