The results of investigations of the gas-and-dust complex connected with the young association Cep OB4 and the cluster Be 59 are presented. Monochromatic photographs of the bright emission nebulae S 171 (W1) and NGC 7822 are obtained. The expansion velocity of a faint extended shell around W1 and Cep OB4 is confirmed to be equal to 30 - 40 km s-1. IR observations are presented. A second "inner" shell is revealed. The numerous molecular and dust clouds, emission nebulae and two faint extended shells in this region lead to the conclusion that they form a single complex associated with Cep OB4 and the young cluster Be 59. The shell-type morphology of the complex seems to be created by the stellar wind of Cep OB4 and Be 59. The expansion velocity could be explained by a supernova explosion about 3×105years ago or by a short-lived (or invisible) source of a strong stellar wind.
