I just don't think that it was the Tividale one. If you look here

then you can just make out that the Tividale Infectious Diseases Hosp. is listed as Rowley Regis. Then listed under Dudley is Infectious Diseases Hospital (Dudley C.B.)
I think it is the latter that you need to locate because it best matches the death certificate.
Dudley had a parish workhouse on the south side of Tower Street to the north of .... general sick wards, infectious disease ward (separate from the main block), male ... was a member of a voluntary group called Friends of Burton Road Hospital.
